Hi Nathan,

filenames that match ".*/bin/.+-config$" are regarded as build-config
files (like libpng-config, freetype-config, etc.), and these kind of
-config files should go into a devel package. However, in your case the
rpmlint warnings seem to be false positive and can probably be ignored.
The reviewer should have a look at them, though.

Regards,
Martin
