My gut reaction was "Just read /usr/lib/rpm/macros", but then again,
that's because I've had to do that to figure some things out.  At the
very least, a sentence or two that says:
  Mandrake has added some macros to the standard set of macros defined
  for rpm building.  Please look at the the file where they are defined
  in /usr/lib/rpm/macros and it should become apparent which ones
  Mandrake has added.

It could possibly be more detailed, but when it comes to building rpms,
you would not expect to have to hold someone's hand outside of the
Newbie list.

:) I think those are decent suggestions too.
