[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] RFE: Allow automating %setup arguments (#368)

[Jeff Johnson]

FYI: %setup permits multiple tar balls be unpacked into a buildsubdir.

Using a parameterized %setup() strips off arguments.

At some point, you are better off just not using %setup at all. Expand into shell commands that unpack (or checkout) whatever you wish.

There's also little reason why you cannot write a tool outside of rpm that creates a (possibly signed) tarball that Just Works with rpm.
