I'm pretty sure that I read in a Fedora book once about a utility that
would create an RPM from a sourceball.  Unfortunately, I don't have
that book in front of me right now and, besides, it's pretty late on a
Friday afternoon and my frain is pretty bried.

Am I imagining this?  Is anybody aware of a simple script that would do this?
