Something like make rpm-spec would eventually be nice as well.

Yes, there's really no way around keeping that.

The problem with libtool is this: it can't handle multiple languages at
once. That means that you'd have to build libpq and libpq++ with
sufficiently similar compilers. I guess this is how it is already but at
least it would have to be carefully evaluated. One option would be to use
libtool for all C stuff and keep the current funny business for libpq++,
or we could volunteer as earlier testers for libtool's multi-language
branch. All in all it looks like a separate undertaking.
