[lug] tweaking RPM spec files

I'm tweaking an out-of-date spec file for some UPS software (the "nut"
package). The old version was 0.45.4, then there were a couple of
upgrades, and a test version which is a "pre-final" type release is
0.99.0. I am trying to use the old spec file (which is in the tarball
but not current) to create rpm's. I am almost successful, it builds
everything but the binary programs that act as drivers. So I was looking
at the 0.45 spec file, and now I am scratching my noggin a bit more than
usual: Neither the "driver" subdirectory (where the driver binary
programs are compiled to), nor any driver files, are listed anywhere in
the spec files, directly or indirectly through macros. [note: the
drivers are full programs being called by wrapper scripts, they are not
libraries or modules]
So...how is it that a source rpm rebuild from 0.45 will create binary
rpm's that also have the binary programs, yet the "nearly same" file in
0.99 in no way references these binaries for install? This is long, but
pasted below (beware line wrap) is the spec file I am using. The
original 0.45 and friends are available at
http://www.exploits.org/nut/
Is there some magic incantation or human sacrifice ritual that must be
performed to get the binaries without mentioning them or the directory
in the spec file? In the spec file, if you look at the section 8 man
pages (sounds like Klinger on M.A.S.H.), these man pages are for the
binaries, which end up installed in /sbin/ (if it is a working rpm).

%description
These programs are part of a developing project to monitor the assortment
of UPSes that are found out there in the field. Many models have serial
ports of some kind that allow some form of state checking. This
capability has been harnessed where possible to allow for safe shutdowns,
live status tracking on web pages, and more.
This package includes the client utilities that are required to monitor a
UPS that the client host is powered from - either connected directly via
a serial port (in which case the main nut package needs to be installed on
this machine) or across the network (where another host on the network
monitors the UPS via serial cable and runs the main nut package to allow
clients to see the information).

This package is the main NUT upsd daemon and the associated per-UPS-model
drivers which talk to the UPSes. You also need to install the base NUT
package.
