As pointed out already, it is straightforward to change rpm's defaults in 
~/.rpmmacros. This still only gives different per-user settings, and different 
packages can still step on their toes (and they will still create a big mess 
in the SOURCES directory). People are led to include %name in all patch names 
to somewhat reduce the mess, for example.

When using rpm directly without a chroot, I like to keep everything in the 
same sub-directory instead. For building, I use the attached script.

This would make much saner defaults for rpm IMO. This doesn't seem to be a 
popular opinion, however.
