Need Octave Forge rpm

FC provides Octave.  However, it doesn't provide Octave Forge, which
includes several utilities and other enhancements to Octave.  Octave
Forge is released in a version parallel to each release of Octave.

The Octave Forge release equivalent to the version of Octave provided in
FC3 is only available as a tgz file.  An rpm spec is provided in the
file, but there are no instructions how to do the packaging.

I suggest that future releases of FC should include Octave Forge as well
as Octave.

However, in the interim, can anyone provide a simple explanation of how
to use the rpm spec provided in the Octave Forge release to produce a
compatible FC3 rpm for Octave Forge?
