Interestingly, i just posted to the list a similar SPEC file. look at the thread on CGI.pm.
I've attached my spec file for "fakejava" as well.
It was a lot of trial and error to make it work. None of the documentation I could find was for modern versions of RPM, and IIRC the documentation i did find for older versions was incorrect somehow.
I think I had to specify a source package, but i didn't have to actually do anything with it.
I'm cc'ing the list on this so it makes it into the archives.

Tell it, brother!
I spent three hours figuring out how to write a spec file to create an RPM that doesn't do anything other than tell the RPM database that such and such a capability is installed (some java app didn't think i have "java" since sun's rpms didn't tell RPM it was there).
ugh.
