Actually all you need these days is to install atrpms-rpm-config. This
will provide all that may be neccessary. The most prominent part of
the environment is to support multiple kernels, not mulitple
distros. Of course using distro-neutral macros helps keeping the same
specfile/src.rpm across the distros.
