[Rpm-maint] RPM supports variable group name ?

Hello,

I have an urgent requirement to be able to deliver a binary in an RPM 
with an unknown group name, at the rpm build time.  The Group name will 
be known only at install time.

On solaris with packages, its possible to support this using the 
"request" scripts to get input from the package installer and a 
variable for the group name in the prototype file.

Can anyone let me know if something like this is doable with RPMs ? I 
haven't found any information on this. Any pointers will be much 
appreciated.

Please cc me onthe response as I am not yet subscribed to this alias.
Thanks!
Sangeeta
