I noticed on line 327 of bdist_rpm.py that there's actually a check
for whether it should be using 'rpm' or 'rpmbuild' commands. I wonder
if that test could be expanded to test for the case of rpmbuild not
existing but rpm command not having rpmbuild capabilities, and then
printing a more useful error message.
