FC4, cpan2rpm, unknown rpm option 'bp'

[Alex Beamish]

Yep .. it looks like if rpmbuild isn't installed, cpan2rpm valiantly tries
to use rpm instead, and since rpm doesn't handle that argument any more, it
fails. It would nice if the documentation for cpan2rpm mentioned that. I
should probably write to the authour about that. Thanks!
