Yah. FSM_t refiggering been on my TODO list for years.

(aside) Using FreeBSD libarchive for payload processing is my likely  
end-point,
the code is rather nicely done. Gonna take several months to get there
adiabatically however ...

BTW, the other refactoring in progress, poptALL -> poptIO, is gonna
be very twitchy because of the numerous side-effects jump starting
macro/lua/popt initialization.

I've reverted to leaving macros/lua/popt options in poptALL, which is
more than gud enuf for now, none of rpmgrep, rpmdigest or (soonishly)
rpmtar/rpmcpio/rpmar have any immediate use for macros/lua/popt.

But expect some changing (and breakage) eventually. rpm initialization
is way way more complicated than necessary imho.
