I have renamed the rpm-retrieve.pl script to spectool and put it up

The biggest change is, it understands --help now and is version 1.0.
For those who missed the great "why macros in Source fields are
evil/bring world peace" thread on fedora-devel-list, this tool expands
macros source/patch directives and either lists them or directly
retrieves the files.
I would like to point people to
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=6346 that I filed a
long time ago asking for rpm (rpmbuild now) to be able to download
missing source packages. I still think that this is the right solution.
Do people agree? Should that bug be reopened (it's CLOSED WONTFIX right
now)?
