OK, I'm going to give thoughts to my own thoughts.
I know lots of people that put Fedora on Mac's.  So changing the default of
pungi would affect them, and that wouldn't be very nice.
But it's my opinion that you need to have a "Requires" for everything that
is needed by default.  So I am suggesting using Connie's patch, and then
have the following in the spec file.

%ifarch x86_64
Requires:       hfsplus-tools
%endif
