Ah, I see. Yes, our "apache" package is a horribly example how complex a .spec
can be if one really wants ultra-flexibility.  But what do you expect from an
Apache package built by an ISP ;)

The way to go is to use (assuming --prefix=/cw)...

    $ rpm -i apache-*.src.rpm
    $ cd /cw/RPM/SRC/apache
    $ vi apache.spec
    [...switch options to "yes"...]
    $ rpm -bb apache.spec
    $ rpm -Uvh /cw/RPM/PKG/apache-*.rpm

...instead of the usual:

    $ rpm --rebuild apache-*.src.rpm
    $ rpm -Uvh /cw/RPM/PKG/apache-*.rpm
