+Bytes 76-77 ("00 01" above) form an int16 that indicates the OS the
+package was built for.  In this case, 1 == Linux.  The next 2 bytes
+(78-79) form an int16 that indicates the signature type.  This tells
+RPM what to expect in the Signature.  For version 3.0 packages, this
+is 5, which indicates the new "Header-style" signatures.

+The remaining 16 bytes (80-95) are currently unused and are reserved
+for future expansion.

Yeah I think I just cut this out from the main doc without much editing, any
