okay .. regardless of the consolidation - where do we specify standard  
configure/build options for consistency in the spec file and what  
macros are available to help reproduce a build?  for rpm you can see:
http://rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-build-creating-spec-file.html

with standard build macros available here:
http://rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-macros.html

for IPS all i can find are:
http://opensolaris.org/os/community/sw-porters/contributing/pkgcomp/
and
http://dlc.sun.com/osol/docs/content/IPS/ggdvj.html

which just detail install.sh style options and dependencies and how to  
send packages places
