Right, my patch does pretty much the same thing, except it does it in the code 
instead of using popt.

That's already there.
Btw, why is cpu-os-macros.tar.gz included as a tarball rather than unpacked 
somewhere? That makes it harder for distributions to patch the per-arch 
macros (unpack, apply patches, repack instead of just applying patches).

Right, this isn't only about find_lang though (even though I see its primary 
use in combination with find_lang).
Being able to specify several -f files is also useful for stuff like ooo-build 
(ooo-build creates a number of file lists after building openoffice.org, so 
you can just %files importantstuff -f 
corelibraries.list,english.list,whateveryoucareaboutmost.list).

I've added another patch -- this allows to specify --with-perldirs=vendor to 
install the perl bindings into vendor-perl as opposed to site-perl (it just 
passes the parameter given to --with-perldirs on to Makefile.PL as 
INSTALLDIRS).
