Signing built RPMs or how to create signed RPMs.

[Oliver Falk]

Hi Allen!

I'm not sure how the Fedora guys do it... There's a lot of black 
(scripting) magic involved I guess. :-)

And yes, the script is already using the the larger key size, but that's 
not hard to "fix"...

Come on guys, show us your dirty little tricks! :-P

Best,
  Oliver
