Insert a %post into existing rpm?

[Daniel Grimwood <reaper ivec org>]

Hi all,

I have a binary commercial rpm (Intel Compiler) that I would like to put 
a %post script into.

The reason is that the rpm currently comes with an install script that 
installs the (relocatable) rpm and then does some trivial modifications to 
some of the files that got installed.  (It effectively replaces some tokens 
with RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX in a few files.).  I'd like to stick those changes 
straight into a %post script and repackage the rpm to simplify new installs 
and upgrades.

Is this possible/easy to do with rpm?  If not then I could try converting to 
deb with alien, putting the post script in and converting back to rpm, but I 
don't know if that would wreck RPM_INSTALL_PREFIX, plus it's not elegant.

Thanks,
Daniel.
