I am not suggesting to discontinue the binary RPMs!

I suggest that we stop rolling the source RPM in a future bogofilter
1.1.0 version, since there is no practical difference between the
.tar.gz and the .src.rpm packages. One uses rpmbuild -tb, the other
rpmbuild --rebuild, and both take/need all the --defines and environment
variables you may need to tune the build.

We should build the .src.rpm for 1.0.1 for compatibility. And perhaps
for future versions, too.
