Well, I usually just grab any old spec file that's 'close enough' to the
application that I want, then edit it.  Additionally, there's stuff on
www.rpm.org that could be of use.  Another good thing is to just re-edit the
.spec file that comes with a SRPM (assuming it exists, and you don't like
the default setup).
