Thanks for reviewing this.  I agree with your patch for REVISION, will include
it in the next spec, and will report a bug upstream if there isn't one already.

I'll look into the gcc dependency issue with rawhide.  I didn't have that
problem when I built the llvm-3.0rc3 and dragonegg packages on F16.  I'll
install rawhide in a VM for testing and report back when I have an updated spec
and SRPM that fixes it.

I respectfully disagree with changing the macro-in-comment warnings as they are
in comments copied directly from the existing gcc-python-plugin spec, and
doubled percent signs might be confusing to anyone trying to actually
understand the comments.  I'd rather have the rpmlint warnings.  However, if
you really feel strongly that those warnings have to be fixed, let me know, and
I'll do it.

LLVM is supported on i386 and x86_64, which are the current Fedora Primary
Architectures.  The Fedora llvm package spec excludes use of ocaml on s390,
s390x, and sparc64, but does not exclude those or any other architectures. 
While I have a hard time believing that LLVM will work on all of the Fedora
Secondary Architectures, if the LLVM spec doesn't exclude them I don't think
the DragonEgg spec needs to either.
