Revamp the RPM building process. For versions of rpm that support

"--define", we now build the RPM and SRPM packages in packages/rpm. As a result, one need not be root to build RPM-based packages. Move the specfile to packaging/rpm/SPECS. Update the INSTALL document to include the various packaging makefile targets. svn path=/trunk/; revision=4581
