It is just RIDICULOUS not to have an automated way to create RPMs. If
I can download some source file, and then ./configure make and make
install, this automated tool is perfectly capable of finding the base
system, the files installed during the process, and the requirements.

I just don't understand this *nix attitude that "complex is good". End
users might want to create their own RPMs, too.
