It's not tough to make your own customized version of an existing RPM. Download the matching source RPM (.src.rpm), "install" it (which unpacks it into /usr/src/redhat/{SOURCES,SPECS} on Red Hat), and build it with "rpm -bb /usr/src/redhat/SPECS/packagename.spec". To customize it, edit the build instructions in the spec file (eg. the configure options) and add your intials to the release number (to distinguish it from the distribution's RPM). Then issue the above rpm command to build your custom package.
