These spec files are not generated manually, they are done via ximian
buildbuddy. So the manual changes (eg, cleanups) don't really help.

A few comments:
      * It is incorrect to not depend on the *specific* libgtkhtml
        version you use. Otherwise, you can get stuff that is broken.
      * %{_libdir}/mono is wrong, you need to use %{_prefix}/lib/mono.
        On 64 bit systems .net stuff still goes into /usr/lib
