Well, I had no script (besides the bumpspecfile one found at
http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/rebuild-scripts/bumpspecfile.py?root=fedora&view=markup
) and thus did most of it manually, as writing a script for this sort of
one-time change is likely not worth the trouble.

Results from my work:

@FESCo: so what do do with this? Commit and don't build? The package
owners should see the commit diff and spot errors if I did any.
