Hmmm ... "compiled in" isn't even close to being the right term for
macro configuration.

Yes the %_dependency_whiteout is (deliberately) clunky to use; the
better fix is in packages, not in RPM itself for packaging flaws.

But there _IS_ a need for making RPM configuration easier to use
with a global store. Its silly to have to re-configure/re-customize
zillions of cookie cutter installs when all the changes are identical.
