Make it a conditional define, so one can use "--define 'sourcecode 1'" on 
the rpmbuild command line to override it. One shouldn't need to unpack the 
SRPM to change such things. (Also add a suffix, normally nil, that can be 
overridden in this way to identify custom builds. But I think this is 
already there.)
