So far, what I built is a custom python/jinja script to generate the

here is the code and example with mingw-zlib:

Ideally, we would use built-in RPM template facilities, but that may take a
while:

Yes, I think you
need to assume that this will not happen soon.
(If ever. I think that there are significant doubts whether this type
of templating is desirable.)
It will be hard to automate the translation from existing spec to a
template form, but I can eventually look at it.
Adding ucrt64 packages is still optional, and can be done manually anyway.
Templating is optional too, obviously.
Hmm, but wouldn't the goal be to provide ucrt64 everywhere where there are
existing mingw packages? If users are to transition to ucrt64, they would need
to be able to assume that they can do that without regressions.
