How do you compile from a source distribution that provides a *.spec file?
I wanted to take a look at the new KDE desktop.  I have all of the
distribution .rpm files installed but there was no kdestart binary
distribution.  I found a kdestart source .rpm distribution but I cannot
figure how to build a kdestart executable from it.  The distribution
provides a kdestart.spec file but I have no clue on how to build from it.
