D'oh :-). For some reason I was thinking it shouldn't matter. Don't know 
why, I should know better :-). Sorry.

Ok, that's better... except for the gratuitous violations of Fedora 
packaging convention. I suspect it won't be possible to use cpack to 
make Fedora RPM's, at least not without a lot of surgery (for one, 
Fedora needs an SRPM, RPM and -devel RPM, also no RPATH allowed, and no 
RPM's containing common directories, e.g. /usr, /usr/bin, /usr/lib, etc.)

Anyway, thanks for the help! I now have a highly non-canon, but 
installable, rpm that satisfies koffice's check, at least on i*86 (llvm 
is broken on x86_64). Next step is making a proper rpm for Fedora, but I 
suspect that won't involve cpack (should be interesting getting cmake to 
play with Fedora's RPM building :-) ).
