rpm-spec-mode.el, at least a version which is used in the current
FC releases, will write you a skeleton spec file from scratch if
you are starting with something which does not exist.

You can use that with earlier emacs versions even if it comes
in emacs-el-21.3-21.FC3 package (.elc in emacs-common-21.3-21.FC3
but you may prefer to ask _your_ emacs to compile it even if
you want to bother with that; with current machines startup time
savings are negligible).
