Building an rpm from a src rpm

[Steve Buehler]

Answering my own question here.  I went to:
http://www.lsc-group.phys.uwm.edu/beowulf/medusa/maintenance/rpm_manual.html
Nice, but I can't do rpm -ba.  I must use rpmbuild -ba, so I just replaced 
it with that.  I also had to upgrade my libtools.  So I am now at libtool-1.5.
