For bash-completion >= 2.0 we have _xfunc for this purpose -- it'll pull
in "external" completion functions on demand if they're not available.
Using it in yum-utils is a matter of prepending "_xfunc yum " to all
calls of functions that are in yum's. There are some examples of this in
bash-completion itself.

BTW if assuming presence of bash-completion >= 2.0 is acceptable, there
are a few things that could be cleaned up.
