Ummm, I searched unsuccesfully for docs on those--best thing I can think of is
to rpm -i something.src.rpm from srpms for mandrake and then look at the spec
files others have made. Some of them have really artful dodges and many will
give you clues how to do it.
There is the rpm howto at
http://www.mandrakelinux.com/howtos/mdk-rpm/
which explains a lot of the procedure including the spec file.
