It does a pretty good job. I have made RPMs for mplayer and several other programs with it. It won't do good at a kernel install because of the symbolic links used and won't build source rpms. It is however good for making binaries rpms. You can even use custom install scripts other than make install with it.The program is called checkinstall, you use it instead of 'make install' when compiling from source. It keeps track of all the changes made by 'make install' and packages into a handy .tgz, .rpm, or .deb.I happened upon it this afternoon, so I have not had a chance to try it yet. http://asic-linux.com.mx/~izto/checkinstall/ Happy packaging!
