CentOS - Mar 2006 - Request: Correct procedure on how to build a custom kernel on Centos

This topic seems to be a perennial question.  So I
don''t ruffle any feathers like in
http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2006-February/001400.html
could someone point once and for all to an
authoritative guide on a complete/proper/correct
procedure on building and installing a custom kernel
using the rpmbuild method rather than the traditional
method.

T.I.A.

The way I would do it:
1) Get the src.rpm
2) Install it
3) Replace the kernel source tarball
4) Change the version on the specfile
5) Try to build
6) Rinse and repeat (#5 & #6), until it builds the way I want,
   removing already applied patches and changing the ones needed
   accordingly.
