I've attached the spec file I was working on.
What may be a problem is that myBOBSDATA and myWEBDIR is not using the
DESTDIR setting which is very useful when creating rpms.

The spec file is fairly easy to understand. It runs the configure
command and allows to specify options when building it.

I've made a few notes on what is hardcoded. I'm no expert in specfiles
so I look at other spec files to get and idea of what is possible and
good practice.
