Todd, I like your suggestion about a one liner to say where the rpm will be installed. I had a little trouble finding it as well.
One little tidbit of information that might be of use in the future is that the rpm command rpm -qlp <rpm-file> will give you a list of the files in an rpm and where they will go.
