There's not really much happening in this patch.
The hardest part of a build is getting the %files manifest correct.
All the patch does is try to _ALSO_ do the checkfiles()
sanity check so that _ALL_ the errors can be dealt with,
rather than having to go through the tedium of
lather ... rinse ... repeat
So its mostly a NICETOHAVE, and rather minor tweak, rather
than anything essential.
Yes there's often internal rearrangements of code in rpmbuild
that are difficult to understand applying patches but are otherwise
mostly cosmetic.
