created rpm-macros.spec.
comments and improvements welcome.

i'm not sure how it's going to work out :)

but indeed, if not duplicating the macros, the SOURCES/rpm.macros needs to be 
split, leaving the rpm specific things into original rpm.macros and cvs cp 
rpm.macros,v rpm-macros,v and then leaving in only the second portion of the 
macros, ie which are independant of rpm version, which are just pld macros, 
like %useradd/%groupadd/%gconf_schema_install
