Sorry for the trouble. It looks like the VERSION can't contain dashes. If
we replace the dashes in the version with underscores, it seems to work.
I've never tried to create an RPM before, and it's still not quite working
for me, but rpmbuild at least tries to reconfigure and build from the
sources.
If you could test that for me and let me if that actually works, I can
apply the fix in configure.in.
