I guess got a little ahead of myself when I cleaned up the BuildRequires
(figured that since it was just copying files, nothing was needed; forgot about
the macro)

They shouldn't be. I tried building with chmod -x *.mp on that directory, but
rpmlint still came back with errors about shebang lines. Bug in rpmlint
perhaps?

The project hasn't had development on it for a long time (2006 or so), but the
developer did put a note on the site that he plans on working on it again
(although this was in August).
