Other than Anthony Green's response, there's not much opinion on that
yet it seems. Maybe asking the question was premature; it's something
I'd like to figure out sooner rather than later, though.
The only other thing was the `find %{_libdir}/%{name}/mappings -name
\*.db` potentially producing a list of db's that is to big to fit in the
argument buffer, and that may make an incorrect merge.
What are the advantages of an rpmacro over just placing a merge shell
script in /usr/bin?
