I'd like to do that too, but RPM's usually put stuff in /usr/bin,
/usr/lib, and so forth. Do you have to build from sources if you want
things in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, ... ?

BTW, I tried using RPM --relocate and the package turned out to be
non-relocatable. Maybe I got unlucky and most of 'em are relocatable?
