My spec files for both libibverbs and opensm include the related utilities
and diags.  My one suggestion is that if you bother to create spec files for
a 1.0 release, then please don't use /usr/local, use the proper locations
for files as though they were something other than 1 off local builds.  For
example all the scripts in the management tree use /usr/local as their
prefix, the configure program doesn't change them, so my rpm has a shell
environment file it drops in /etc/profile.d in order to get the scripts to
work without having to edit all the paths.  I'd prefer not to have to have
that file in /etc/profile.d for an official 1.0 release ;-)
