[CS-FSLUG] Keeping track of files durring make install

[N. Thompson]

I learned how to make RPM's and thats been very helpful but its hard to 
make good ones because I never know what files are going to be installed 
and where they are going to go. Because of this I always miss files and 
wind up with an RPM package that is going to install several files but 
only remove a few of them on uninstall. I would like to improve this but 
I don't know how, perhaps someone could point out a way to force "make 
install" to think a certain folder is actually the root folder so then 
after doing that I can find out exactly what files are going to be 
installed. Also while I'm talking about that is there some easier way to 
fill out the files section then by going through an entire folder and 
listing its exact contents, maybe some shell script that would output 
the necessary information to a console so it can be pasted into KWrite 
when I'm writing a spec file.

Thanks
