I build using rpmrc, macros, xrpm from
     http://wraptastic.org/pub/jbj
for many years now. The lazy mkdirs on
     rpm -Uvh foo*.src.rpm
with %{name} extracted from the installed header
have been in rpm forever (note rpm -ta foo*.tar don't work. <shrug>)

How the nuild element repository is organized is a separate question,  
per-pkg
directory containers makes lots of sense to me, as well as to
most other CMS source code repositores, although each has
to organize the gook slightly differently, sigh.
