Summary: bdist_rpm still can't handle dashes in versions

Initial Comment:
I tried to use Python 2.4.2 to create a bdist_rpm of
setuptools, whose version string was 0.6a9dev-r41475.
The distutils/command/bdist_rpm module's
_make_spec_file method mangled the version to
0.6a9dev_r41475 (line 370). Then when the spec file was
being built by rpmbuild, it looked for the sdist named
setuptools-0.6a9dev_r41475.tar.gz, which didn't exist:
it was called setuptools-0.6a9dev-r41475.tar.gz (note
dash). 

So you have to mangle the version to make rpm happy -
but you can't expect the sdist to have the mangled
version as part of its name.

I looked at the nightly Python source as of 17 Nov 2005
and saw that this bug still exists in the development
version of Python.

A patch is attached which fixed this bug for me.

Sean, you seem to know a lot more about rpms than most of
us.  Any comment on this approach?
