The following is the quote of a response Dom Lachowicz sent to someone
else on the same subject a few weeks ago (hmm, maybe I should add this
to the FAQ -- let me know if these instructions are sufficient of if
something else should be added):

Actually, all you need to know how to use is rpm if
you want to be technical. There's no special version
of the sources needed to run on Mandrake. Just grab
the spec file out of the RedHat RPMs, a recent AbiWord
tarball, and then:
rpmbuild -bb <tarball>
or
rpm -bb <tarball>
Depending on your version of RPM (4.x vs. 3.x). Yes,
it really is that simple. When you're done, email this
list or me personally with a link to your RPM and
we'll gladly upload it to SourceForge.net along with
the rest of our binaries.
Regards,
Dom
