Well, if you looked at my recent RPM Lua hacks in detail you will
see that I'm actually using rpm.macros() in all of them. This
*IS* exactly this patch you have applied. My OpenPKG-specific
"append-tag-value-to-macro" patch I applied today just allows one in Lua
to fetch from rpm.macros() all(!) values of a tag, not just the last
one.
