Well like I said, this dependency actually builds almost perfectly: 
http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Emfnboer/twinkle/download/ccrtp-1.3.6.tar.gz
Just that doing a "rpmbuild -ta" results in:

RPM build errors:
    Installed (but unpackaged) file(s) found:
   /usr/share/info/dir

Adding the line:

   %{_infodir}/dir

To the "%files devel" section solved that problem, but I'm not sure if 
it's the correct solution.
(Patched spec file included with this mail)

With twinkle itself I have not been so successful.
First of all because only a twinkle.spec.in existed so I first had to 
run ./configure and re-tar the result before I could continue with 
"rpmbuild -ta", but again I'm not sure that was the best way to go.

Next the spec file was made for SUSE so I had to make some changes to 
it. The "biggest" change I had to make seems to be the fact that SUSE 
has some kind of rpm-macro for creating desktop files. I have no idea if 
something like that exists for Redhat/Fedora so I added a manually 
created twinkle.desktop file to the tar ball.

I also changed some dependencies because of package name differences 
between SUSE and Redhat/Fedora.
(Patched spec file and desktop file included with this mail)

With these changes rpmbuild terminates successfully, it's just that when 
trying to install the resulting RPM I get the following error:

error: Failed dependencies:
        libresolv.so.2(GLIBC_PRIVATE) is needed by twinkle-0.7-tako1.i586

I know it has to do with the fact that twinkle uses some private 
functions from the libresolv library but I don't know what to do with it.
"nm twinkle | grep PRIVATE" gives me:

         U __ns_get16@@GLIBC_PRIVATE
         U __ns_name_ntop@@GLIBC_PRIVATE

So, if any more information is needed, just let me know.

Cheers,
 -Tako
