need "cheat" to package installed files into RPMS

I have been building RPMs for a long time and I've always lectured new
users about the need to build from source.

Now I'm in a position where I need to completely ignore that advice.

I have a directory of installed files like so:

/usr/share/A
/usr/share/B
/usr/share/C

and I'd like to build a a separate RPM for each subdirectory.

I don't plan to share these RPMs to the outside world. I plan to share
them among compute nodes in a cluster.

I believe there are some other RPM *cheaters* lurking out there and
I'd appreciate their advice. :)
