Indeed - 'yum deplist rpm | grep lua' on a RHEL 5 box shows that rpm was
not built with lua support back then.  So we can't use lua; any solution
will have to stick with what is supported in RHEL 5.

Does %{expand:...} do what we want?  Otherwise, I'm out of ideas for
avoiding a subshell for every time the macro is expanded.
