    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,
