Robert:

The %global statements are used to make it so that information is specified
once instead of scattered throughout the file.  It also makes maintainability
easier since you can confidently change the information without worrying about
subtle side effects.  See also:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging/Guidelines#.25global_preferred_over_.25define

The prefix and libdir are specified so that the files are installed to /usr/bin
and /usr/lib* instead of /usr/local/bin and /usr/local/lib*.

Packages install their files into /usr, hand-compiled programs install their
files into /usr/local.  See also the '/usr/local' section of:
