_E_P_M maintains a list of variables and their values which
can be used to substitute values in the list file. These
variables are imported from the current environment and
taken from the command-line and list file as provided.
Substitutions occur when the variable name is referenced
with the dollar sign ($):
%install echo What is your name:
%install read $$name
%install echo Your name is $$name
f 0555 root sys ${bindir}/foo foo
f 0555 root sys $datadir/foo/foo.dat foo.dat
Variable names can be surrounded by curley brackets
(${name}) or alone ($name); without brackets the name is
terminated by the first slash (/), dash (-), or whites-
pace. The dollar sign can be inserted using $$.
