Summary: Generate a working spec even with wrong version of software 

Initial Comment:
Some python packages use a '-' in their version.
This doesn't work with rpm, since a tag Version cannot have a '-', this is the default separator between the release and version. A common practice for this problem is to change '-' by '_'.
