[rrd-developers] fix for rrdtool.spec so that it can be used out of the box on RHEL4 and RHEL5

I have integrated this into the 1.3 1.2 and trunk repos

the problem is that I am not realy into php and noone has yet
steped up to provide propperly integrated bindings, with configure
and Makefile support ... if someone does this, I am happy to add
them.
