I went into the extracted tarball and tried applying patches one after 
another like this - 
  patch -p1 < ../<patchname>

I am just interested in fully-patched source I want to compile and 
install it myself without any rpm tools - more clearly - 
I want to - 
(1) extract the source tarball available with the rpm package
(2) patch this source with all the packages available in the rpm package
(3) configure , build and install this source at *custom* location

** I do not want to use any rpm tools for this **
