The index tool just parses information from specfiles, it doesn't
know much about the inner workings of RPM and IMHO it shouldn't
recognize such implicit user options because that links the build
process tightly to the index process. There would also be the
question on how complex your .rpmmacros may become.
On the other hand, explicit options don't give such problems.
It should be easy to teach the index tool to understand an
option like -Drpmdist=.rhel for a macro definition that is
predefined for all spec-files.
