Subject: [PATCH] obsolete libcom-err for SuSE e2fsprogs

It isn't possible to build an e2fsprogs via "make rpm" on SuSE and have it
install cleanly, because they split out some of the libraries into separate
packages.

We've got the current patch to the .spec file, but I'm open to discussion
if it is more desirable to change the .spec to continue to build separate
RPMs (though that is more of a distribution hassle and might need major
changes in the .spec file).
