Yes, I am the maintainer.

OK, the %define no longer have a purpose, that makes sense.

The package can be installed on an IPMI-enabled system, or on a non-IPMI system
to be used as a remote client.  the only difference would be that the initial
IPMI data would not be gathered on a non-IPMI client.  Detecting whether or not
a system is IPMI-enabled (has an IPMI Management Controller) is done by running
any ipmiutil command to see if it can find the interface.  No changes are made
to the IPMI configuration.  

The software does already fold all functions into one meta-command as you
mention, and the other commands had previously been changed to scripts that
just invoke the one command method.  They were provided in ipmiutil-2.1.0 as a
back-compatible path for previously deployed user scripts.  
But, it is time to wean the users off of the old scripts, and I'll start that
for ipmiutil-2.6.0.
