Stripped kernel source tree



 I am running fedora on an x86_64 system. I compile my own 
kernels as a normal user. I do not use rpmbuild other than 
for the initial source creation from the .spec file. I use 
instead the traditional make sequence of oldconfig, 
menuconfig, and then make binrpm-pkg. I then install the 
package and configure grub as root. This works fine for me 
and I have had no problems doing it this way. What I don't 
know how to do is make the equivalent of the kernel-devel 
package for my custom kernel typically installed at 
/usr/src/kernels/. I know that the rpmbuild route will do 
this for me but I don't want to keep the tree for kernels 
that I don't want so it seems a waste to go that route. 
So, how do I create the source tree and strip all the files 
not found in the kernel-devel package. I don't see and 
explicit make target.  The command make clean comes the 
closest but there still remain files not found in the 
distribution packages.
