Building an rpm from a src rpm

[Steve Buehler <steve@xxxxxxxxx>]

	Something I have never been able to do from the directions that I have 
found online is to get a source rpm like 
http://download.atrpms.net/production/sources/fedora-3-i386/atrpms/lftp-3.0.13-20.rhfc3.at.src.rpm 
, then open it to get the source files from it, patch a particular file and 
then rebuild it as a non-source rpm to install it.  Can anybody give me 
"Simple" directions for how to do this that even I could understand?  I am 
not a total idiot......most days, but this one has me kind of stumped.  I 
am suppose to run the following "diff" against it to see if it fixes a 
problem that I am having:
