Note that some macros that appear to take arguments actually just
expand to a program that takes arguments. For instance,
%{configure --disable-foo} will not work, while %{configure}
--disable-foo will work. (This case is obvious, but there are some
that aren't.)
So it's always a good idea to omit the curly braces when macros accept
arguments, just to be safe.

I'm not aware of anything in the Packaging Guidelines that dictate
which notation you must use, so you may use either as long as it is
valid.
