Files that are not installed with the package, but administratively
are considered to belong to the package and are removed when the
package is uninstalled.  Typical examples are pid/log/lock files.

In the same vein, there are plenty of other macros that more routined
spec writers than me seem to use (%global is one example of many) that
don't occur in /etc/rpm and to which no reference is made in maximum or
Guru labs. Where can I find out about these? How did they ever find
out???
