Here's a spec file for giflib that doesn't quite work.  It's a port of
the libungif spec file with a few cleanups similar to what we'd do if
the package was moving to Fedora Extras.

The not quite working portion is the virtual Provides.  I think I'm
running squarely into the issues exposed here:

and explained in this post:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-May/msg00175.html

Should I try something like:
  %ifarch x86_64
  Provides: libungif.so.4()((64bit)
  %else
  Provides: libungif.so.4
  %endif

or is that too much of a hack?  Are there other archs (ppc64?) that need to be %ifarch'd?
