First, let me say this is very cool!...;-)

But I have a question related to that. In ProjectCenter, I try to only maintain
GNUmakefile, not the pre/postable files. But it would be nice to have rpm
creation be automated. So what is the best way to actually achieve this? Do I
really have to start managing the preamble file as well, or is there another
way?
