[Distutils] bdist_rpm and RPM 2.x

[Greg Ward]

The "bdist_rpm" doesn't work with RPM 2.x.  This means that building
RPMs will only work on Red Hat 6.x -- and presumably any version of
Mandrake (since Mandrake started as a fork of Red Hat 6.0), and recent
SuSE versions as well, but I don't know how recent.

Does anyone care?  I don't anymore, since I finally got around to
upgrading to Red Hat 6.  If compatibility with RPM 2.x matters to you,
then please dig in to the bdist_rpm command, figure out why it doesn't
work, and submit a patch.  Otherwise Distutils will only be able to
build RPMs with RPM 3.
