I prefer the following:
rpm2cpio mlton-20010806-1.src.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories
which just leaves you with a mlton-20010806.tgz and a mlton.spec file in
the current directory.
Likewise,
rpm2cpio mlton-20010806-1.i386.rpm | cpio -i --make-directories
will leave you a usr/ directory in the current directory and you can move
the executable and support files. (Just remember to update the mlton
script in /usr/local/bin to point the place where the support files in
/usr/local/lib/mlton got put.)

The file name should be .rpmmacros
