Putting it all into the RPM defeats the objective of what I'm trying to
accomplish at several levels.  What I'm really aiming for is to have some
sort of text file that lists the kernels you want to build for (if you
don't want to build for the default running kernel).  Something along the
format of:

%{KERN_VERSION},%{ARCH},(%{ARCH} | ''),(${KERN_BUILD_PATH} | '')

I have, since my last e-mail, collapsed that SPEC files together to better
manage Source and Patch files.  There's a series of configuration options
one can set to control build behavior.  I'm hoping to have something put
together by the end of the week, but this week is already getting away from
me....
