[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Macro arguments do not support quoting (#222)

[proyvind]

Lack of quoting support was actually what made me put the python interpreter support implemented @rpm5.org to use, which in turn made templating a shitload easier with a language which supports overloading of parameters, OOP etc.
Lack of support for such in lua (combined with not exactly widespread knowledge of the language amongst packagers) is why it's not suitable for the task, hence #190 (which again makes templating fully possible for whatever plugin that implements the rpminterp.h api, that can be implemented and maintained by third parties for ie. turning existing package/spec generators into superiour single line spec files requiring minimal package maintenance)</shamelessfeaturelobbying>;)
