Also, a style question.
The uvc driver source is stored as a subversion project.
Which of the following approaches to including the source code would
you prefer.
Option #1: I run subversion checkout manually and then create from
	   	   that a source tarball for inclusion in the source rpm
		   (perhaps labelled with the date as a suffix)

Option #2: I set up the rpm to automatically download the source code
	   	   from subversion at compile time.

Also, let me know if you have any other suggestions here?
