Ah, you had in mind to add "$Name: ...$" in the spec file and
construct the "Release:" from this, right?

I know that "rpmbuild --rebuild --define ... *.src.rpm" works so I
expect it to work for rpmbuild -ta *.tgz as well.  But unless I commit
my patch I can't tell for sure.  Should I?  (I'd rename
"micro_version" to "rpm_release" or something similar).
