Same here, I installed it via the tar.gz but I created a spec file to do
it all with. I do this not because I have to, but because I want to be
familiar with the way RPM works, plus as a bonus, it gives an idea what
the maintainers have to go through to make these RPM/SRPM packages. :)
I look at something like this and say, "Ok, this took me this ammount of
time to do, how long for something like XFree or KDE?". Then when I see
questions pop up like, "Hey, I noticed XFree XX came out yesterday, how
come the RPM's arn't available on SuSE's site yet?", I can just shake my
head and laugh.

I agree, and the logcheck.sh file is still the main configuration of
what you want monitored and where to put things. Mainly I was looking at
it this way to make it easy for someone to start the thing without having
to fuss with crontab. This would at least give someone for basic time
frames for running and if they needed to fine tune it more then they could
mess with crontab themselves :)
