+* Sat May 31 2008 Hans de Goede <j.w.r.degoede@hhs.n> - 1:1.2.0-2
+- Stop calling autoconf, this was no longer necessarry and in current
+  rawhide breaks us from building (because aclocal.m4 does not match
+  the new autoconf version)
+- Drop our last 2 patches, they were modifying configure, but since we called
+  autoconf after that in effect they were not doing anything, review has
+  confirmed that they indeed are no longer needed)
+- Drop using system libtool hack, this is dangerous when the libtool used
+  to generate ./configure and the one used differ
+- Remove various antique checks (for example check if RPM_BUILD_ROOT == /) 
+- Drop unnecessary explicit library Requires
+- Cleanup BuildRequires
+
 * Tue Mar 11 2008 Jindrich Novy <jnovy@redhat.com> - 1:1.2.0-1
 - update to 1.2.0
 - remove libcurl and oggdec patches, applied upstream
