With a default setup, this will unpack things to subdirectories off of
/usr/src/redhat. The spec file goes in SPECS, the source .tar file, and
patches go into SOURCES. From there, you can use the rpm -b commands to
partatialy or completely build the package. For exanple,
"rpm -bp /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/<spec file name>" will untar the source,
apply any patches, and leave the results in /usr/src/redhat/BUILD.
