I detect a problem with it: it demands the presence of ghostscript fonts,
version 5.02 or better, installed with RPM. This is unnecessary: version
2.62 or better is fine for normal HylaFAX use. Also, since the default RedHat
distribution is at level 4.02 or so and you're demanding a higher level,
you *really* need to put in a pointer to the more recent version if you're
going to demand it.

It might be simpler to leave ghostscript out of the RPM requirements. There
are *other* utilities to translate Postscript <-> tiffg3, and that should
be the users' option at install time.
