For an RPM spec+tarball driven build that does not use Makepkgs
I guess we'd have to compute pcp_lib_dir and siblings in the %prep
section, prior to calling %configure .. right?

FYI the current Fedora PCP spec is at:
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/download/rpm/3.6.1-1/pcp.spec
(note it does not currently use %configure), and the src tarball is
ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/pcp/download/rpm/3.6.1-1/pcp-3.6.1-1.src.tar.gz
