An RPM: what kind of absolute MADNESS is this ?

What kind of crazy idea is this? Install an IOCCC entry? I realise it seems odd (at best) so why did I make a rpm spec file and why did I hint at building RPMs for others? I can’t say precisely; certainly I’m under NO IMPRESSION that anyone else will want to use it but the entry was fun enough for me that I actually will (a number of my programs over the years are programs I actually install and I already have done so with this entry).

Nonetheless I am keeping the weasel.spec file in the entry as it was part of my submission but I won’t explain here how to set up the build environment or how to build a RPM; even if anyone did want to (and I know nobody else will) want to do this, they can figure it out themselves. Again, this was more personal but since the Judges’ remarks were fun for me I am keeping this here anyway.
