This is an option that isn't included on all setups though.  That's probably
why it's not in the man page.  You need an add-on script for it.  Seems RedHat
distributions have it, but SuSE doesn't, so I went out an grabed the script
and put it in a place that rpm would find it.  There really are a lot
possibilities to customize rpm too.
