You mean make the spec file itself? Yeah, I did it once before
for either vlc or vls, basically just hacked the existing one
to remove all the dependencies I didn't have, so I'll try
doing this again when I get to work.

The neat way is to have the configure script automatically
create the spec file, so then it's almost guaranteed to work
for that system if configure didn't fail.
