I will follow that scheme, except for 'gambas3-X.Y.spec', which should 
be 'gambas3-openSUSE_Leep_X.Y', shouldn't it?
As these files are generated, what's the problem with one 'spec' file by 
version instead of the same 'spec' file for one distribution?
I find clearer to have one 'spec' file for each version and distribution.

I must just find how to generate the differences between the different 
versions. I think these differences are mainly which packages are 
disabled, and what the build dependencies are - for spec files, as it 
seems library dependencies of packages are automatically deduced from 
build dependencies.
What do you think?
