I'd go for the same solution, a few things remain to consider though:
        * we need: modif .spec.in + modif CMakeLists.txt
        * if the installation is made in /usr/include/tsp:
                * we need to modify the all the current users with
                  something along the lines of  '<tsp/tsp_consumer.h>',
                  or add the extra flags back.
                * supply a tsp-config in /usr/bin (or use pkg-config),
                  that also supposes adding a for of extra flags
                * supply a /usr/include/tsp.h entry point that will
                  include all needed headers (see fuse.h as an example)

I agree, if you want to keep several versions you should be able to pass
the appropriate options to cmake.
