Okay,

I've taken a quick look at hacking this into Makefile.common, but I 
think I'm not the right person todo this (I'm a C-programmer not a 
script language one). Someone (Ville?) once wrote something about some 
special way to feed a whitelist to rpmlint. Can anyone reproduce that 
crucial piece of info?
