well, the whole *MGE* situation tends to make things blurry, even if
you're an insider ;-)

right. the API used is an old one, to have a wide platform support spectrum.
You'll find a 3.0.7 archive here:
http://opensource.mgeops.com/stable/sources/projects/psp/

- Retrieve the .bz2
- extract it, and get into the dir
- call configure a first time to generate packaging/mgeops-psp-suse.spec
- then /packaging/mgeops-psp-suse.spec to your SPEC dir, and the .bz2
to your SOURCES dir
- then issue an "rpmbuild -ba .../mgeops-psp-suse.spec"

Since I'm unsure about x64 support, feedback is welcome.
