You know, sometimes, things are just complex for no reason... I looked 
at some further documentation and found that with the kernel.org source, 
you can configure it up, then do a 'make rpm-pkg' to build both binary 
and source RPMs.

I'm in the middle of doing this to see what I end up with and how it 
compares to what I was doing before...
