I would sugest 'rpmbuild --rebuild bla.src.rpm' should work for
users. i.e 'bla.spec' that gets into 'bla.src.rpm' should be a
generated file based on all the data that can be automatically pulled
from external sources.
- version number
- changelog
- macro expansions etc..

I guess the tool that does this could be 'rpmbuild' or something else
(whatever is a convenient model for the packagers).
