Yes, I used it.

And on splix spec file, created by you, I added following line after
extraversion.
 %define filternames /opt/splix/cups/lib/filter/rastertospl2

In this case, "rastertospl2" in ppd wasn't replaced absolute path.
Because *cupsfilter is replaced by %adjust_ppds only if filternames is
empty. 
(see at Line 229 in rpmmacros)

Do you expect this behavior?

It's probably ok if I rewrite source files a little to use absolute path.

Thanks.
