That is my personal goal, too. openSUSE, despite its name, not only
builds for openSUSE 9.3, 10.0, 10.1, SLES9 + SLES10, but also Xubuntu,
Fedora 4 + 5, and Mandriva. Maybe more in the future. I'll plod through
this and hopefully, eventually arrive at a specfile which builds on all
of these.
(This is my copious spare time, because for some reason or the other, my
employer mostly cares about SLES 10 ;-)
If you want to help with that, we ought to get you an account on the
openSUSE build system.
(And even builds Debian Etch, but that requires Debian magic I'm not up
to right now.)
One of the main advantages is that spec files do tend to set something
which allows you to guess the version you're building on - suse has
sles_version and suse_version, for example. I need to find out, in my
copious spare time, what other distributions use.

Hrm. Interesting. I don't know where that came from then either.

Depends. CVS HEAD of course works too, but the .in file probably isn't
the best choice, as it gets mangled by configure.
It's easier for me to merge changes into the build service if it's diffs
against that, of course. ;-)
If ultimately the goal is to converge on a single unified spec file for
all rpm based distros going forward, it ultimately doesn't matter
either, as it replaces them all. So, we might consider this a clean
slate, too.
