Can't use them... :-(

But I _can_ use this.  RedHat sets this, predictably, to redhat.  Most
other things are easy -- there are macros for nearly everything you need
that hide all details (such as the /usr/src/redhat versus /usr/src/RPM
and others deal).

Thus, Thomas, to answer your question -- YES, we can have a single spec
file do both systems.  Just some conditionals, and judicious use of the
defined macros and envvars.

And this is why I need the rpm --showrc results with spec file diffs (or
examples)... :-).
