You are right but I made a package mistake
they should go in fftw3-devel not in fftw3

I am not really convinced, but I will split fftw3 
in at least 3 packages as requested and modify the 
various setup.hint accordingly.

fftw3
libfftw3_3
libfftw3_3-devel (or fftw3-devel)

I do not see reason to leave fftw3-doc as separate
package, the documentation should go in 
the devel package.

Marco
