However, some software is not available as rpm - and I don't believe

It's relatively straightforward to create a spec file for simple
applications that packages a source tarball. A simple spec file is little
more than a meta-script that does the configure/make/makeinstall, and has
some header info for the RPM DB that any app should have anyway (like name,
summary, description, URL). Look at how easy it is to make an RPM from the
SpamAssassin tarball. (Instructions are on the SA download page. It's a
one-liner.)
