When writing this email I grabbed the last package that I looked at.
There is a wide variety of these %if statements, ranging from %define
and %global, and different ways of setting "with_python3", to putting
the %if statement around each python3 part of the spec file.
Because of this wide variety, it would be difficult to script a
rewrite of spec files.
