ummmm ... actually I documented this practice and approach (a 
./rpmbuild/ in the user's home) long before that as part of a 
move to building all as non-root

seemingly in 2002, but it was common before that

where I note at the end:

 	The techniques work from the earliest days of rpm, 
with minor changes. That is, it will work fine on: Red Hat 
Linux, Netwinder Linux, Alpha Linux, Aurora Linux, YellowDog 
Linux, cAos Linux, Red Hat Fedora and any other distribution 
which uses the RPM Package Manager.

For a while Fedora carried my little setup script in one of 
its packages.
