And/or use the spec file from the src.rpm with your own tarball 
(possibly of a newer version, a patched version, etc.), edit the spec 
file (pretty much all your build options go in there) to your liking 
and have fully customized version in rpm form after building as Ian 
said. :)

I have to go get re-certified before too long here... I got mine back
