Keep in mind that normally stuff like %{pyver} is a horrible sin in RPM 
packaging because you cannot depend on stuff being in the buildroot 
during RPM spec parsing.  However in the case of perl and python we do 
it anyway because they are within the minimum package set.

Querying perl and python: OK
Querying mozilla or qt  : BAD
