Well, I decided to build a spec file anyway because having the libraries everywhere fits our distribution model a little better. It builds a package containing just the protobuf shared libraries and another containing protoc, the headers, the protoc libraries and static libraries, and the pkgconfig files. Kenton, if you think this is worthwhile to include in the distribution I can make a patch with a Makefile target for the RPM.
