The files (at the root level) that were not in git were (in timestamp 
order):

ltmain.sh
config.sub
config.guess
m4
configure
libtool

Some may not matter, but libtool contains build host things like gcc lib 
paths that are specific to the host that ran configure.

How portable should the source be, and what tools are assumed to be used 
for the compile?

Should I be able to take the dist source and feed it into both my boxes, 
i686 and x86_64?
At the moment I need to create specific sawfish.spec files due to the 
librep snafu, so you can't make a universal source rpm (you need a spec 
file before the start).  I don't know enough about rpm syntax to say 
whether it is possible to have a generic spec file that imports 
environment variables from the ongoing build to modify the paths on the fly.
