In case you blinked, rpm just acquired
its own private bin/ and lib/ subdirectories,
now populated with 24 executables as well as
a standalone spidermonkey js shell and custom
RPM extensions to JavaScript.

LUA (with lua/luac executables, and redundant liblua.la
installation because of the current octopus
snarl burying liblua in -lrpmmisc) is pending,
but I'll give you a chance to think through
bin/ and lib/ subdirectories before doing
the check-in.

IMHO, embedded interpreters is viable iff there's
a standalone shell that uses the embedded interpreter
is supplied as well. So I will continue with
private copies of tcl/python/perl/ficl/... as
needed.

YMMV, everyone's does.

And for the Bloat! alerts that are surely gonna be voiced:

	rm -rf /usr/lib/rpm/{bin,lib}

is trivially done, in fact easier than targeting specific
executable and library paths, or fiddling-up with how RPM is built.
