It's essentially LFS, but ahm... my way :)

Me neither.. in order to get rpm source code, you have to download the source
rpm, which you need rpm to unpack, so you need the rpm source code...

Any version of the rpm source I have managed to get.. doesn't build :/

The best option currently seems to be the source package I gave the link to 
before. As you say, most mainstream distro's have it already. It's just the
awkward people like me who need to go the extra mile and I guess that's the
price we pay :)
