Yes, I've tried this.  However, %my_macro ended up being empty.  I want
to do this, because I want to pass values from the %install part to the
%post part.  So MY_VAR is not set at the beginning of the rpm run, but
%is set during %install.

Hmm...

I've put this exactly in my spec (in the %prep section), and get this
error message:

+ 2
/home/askwar/rpm/tmp/rpm-tmp.6969: 2: command not found

So this doesn't seem to work :(
