See the attached project-0.1.1.tgz project template.  It is an
autodescribing "standard project" template except for little things
like not using autoconf (which I think of as overkill for simple
projects).  Read the README and look over the Makefile and specfile.
With a little bit of setup you should be able to type:

  make  (to make the binary)
  make tgz (to make a tarball)
  make rpm (to make source and binary rpm's)

as well as (if you like)

  make cvs
  make sync

to force checkins and/or checkins followed by an rsync to a foreign cvs
tree.  As well as sundry other make targets.
