If you add a rule to maketgz or make dist (I leave that to you guys to
fight out :-) to process curl.spec.in -> curl.spec, and then include
curl.spec in the tarball, any user can:

  rpm -ta curl-7.5.2.tar.gz

RPM will look for the spec file internally and build everything all by
itself, no intervention needed. The main difficulty I see is how to
include multiple SPEC files (ie, the SSL curl-ssl.spec) at once and have
-ta work appropriately. Hmmm. (I personally use the SSL version)
