An experimental patch to make cabal2spec extract license information from
.cabal files

Description of problem:
Current version of cabal2spec does not extract license information in .cabal
files and packagers have to replace @LICENSE@ in output rpm spec by hand.

I wrote an experimental patch to implement $summary.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
cabal2spec-0.25.2-1.fc16.noarch

Additional info:

License name in .cabal files and rpm spec do not match in actual; e.g. BSD3 vs.
BSD, GPL vs. GPL{2,3}[+]?.  So somehow cabal2spec has to detect it
automatically.
