Creating a rpm-specfile that works on different architectures and 
distributions is not easy. The trouble with macro languages is that they are 
designed to solve pretty easy problems, and than people are going to abuse 
that to write complex scripts.
SometimesI create a 'binary only' rpm, (to have an easy uninstall), but such 
an rpm would work only with exactly my version of ruby and qt. Not too 
useful, as you would need a lot of them.
But put at least those four lines in the INSTALL file, and replace the 'if 
building from a CVS snapshot' with 'you are installing from a CVS snapshot'.
