That is not supported but what you might do is set an environment
variable and then call RPM and use this in your scriplet.  Better
IMHO, would be to use a simple config file, that the %pre script knows
to look for.  Config file could simple be a shell script that sets
environment variables, and then the %pre can source this in.
