Or, alternatively, build your RPM from a .tar.gz package.  In order to do this, 
first
build the .tar.gz from CVS.  Generally, this is done by running

 ./autogen.sh
 ./configure
 make distcheck

.  Now, handle the .tar.gz as you would handle any source tarball.  No need
to have a specialized spec file: the tar.gz _does_ ship with a configure.
