Actually you just encouraged me to look around and indeed it's possible
but difficult through the use of macros.  Now it seems another problem
could be that most linux distros use a version of rpm substantially
newer than ours.  I tried to build a new rpm but got held up on
beecrypt.  Maybe that problem has been resolved or worked around with
later versions.

Thanks,
Mark
