Packaging is for a long time expert field.
I always say: if you can do ./configure; make; make install, then you can easily package it. This is of course the easiest type of package and is certainly not working with everything you can find upstream. But god knows, I've been doing some packages by know and this very often DOES work. I also wrote an article about such a package: http://dominique.leuenberger.net/blog/?p=5 (shameless publicity, I know.. but so be it). Just remember: a spec file is a shell script. So writing simple scripts can help. but if the 'normal' configure ; make works, there is not much to script. Give it a try!
