    A friend of mine needed help in adding the zoom rpm to his local urpmi
    mirror of custom rpm packages.

    urpmi searches for the packaged filename, and not the filename actually
    stored on the filesystem, so I created a Makefile he could use for updating his local mirror with the new upstream rpm package and saving i with the correct filename.

    I don't use proprietary software myself, but helping a good friend to accomplish his goal is a noble task.

    I ended up creating a Makefile that does the trick.
    The only think missing is a make target for copying to the proper location, but that is easy to add for those that need it.

    I have attacked the Makefile for anyone else interested in using it,
    as Makefile.zoom. just rename it when storing it on the location
    where this magic is to take place.
