They are exactly as contained in this archive:
ftp://people.redhat.com/mharris/hacks/rpmbuild-nonroot-1.0.tar.gz
Except that I changed one thing in .rpmmacros:
%_buildroot %{_topdir}/%{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-root
to
%_buildroot %{_tmppath}/%{name}-%{version}-root
(since _tmppath already includes _topdir)
Cheers,
Raman
