Fair enough, I'll investigate hooking into rpm's %posttrans hooks.  My 
findings so far are promising.

I've repeated myself several times what the current proposal does and 
does not address (it's also *in* the proposal itself).  If folks, can't 
read, I can't help that.  If folks disagree with the assertions:
* packaging guidelines should not include toolkit-specific optimization 
hacks.
* packaging guidelines should reference upstream specs/standards
then just frickin say so.
