With the extra change I've suggested (plus a couple more that might be useful
to make building more controllable), this can be automated very easily - from
outside of the spec file - which is the correct place to do it IMO.

Another reason for stripping that building against multiple kernel sources is
that it RPM can't do prerequisite dependency properly otherwise. And not being
able to do that renders automated package delivery more difficult.

Although it might be nice to have the spec file generate an arbitrary list of
RPMs for the various kernels that it can only find out about by listing
/lib/modules, I don't think it's possible from within the spec file.
