Hi Rick,
The pwlconfig script converts the rpm to a tar archive and
deals just with the tar file from then on.
I remember one of the reasons for going rpm, it a neat way
to keep all patches and sources required in a neat package.
Not sure if that couldn't be accomplished with clever
directory tree jsut the same...
