I’d like to be able to declare rpm variables, with a name constructed from
other rpm variables
```rpmspec
%global something%{suffix} value
```
Because I need to pass info from `%build` to `%install`, and `%build` may
execute the same operation for multiple subpackages.
The current way to do that is to write things to a file in `%build` and read it
in `%install`, but that is excessively cumbersome (cumbersome enough I’m now
doing build operations in `%install` just to avoid this pain).
Please just relax the stupid assert that freaks out if it sees a variable in
the new variable name.
