Apparently not Rahul, according to its manpage its married to the 
requirement that the src package is also an rpm, which in the two cases 
at hand, don't exist, one of them as only an svn checkout I haven't 
even ./configured yet.  I'm trying to build a fully compatible rpm, using 
checkinstall, from the already built and installed tarball.  I've built 
it as an rpm and installed it, but the dependency list is pretty close to 
a null entry in the one I've built.  That doesn't matter here as 
the ./configure step took care of those as it built the Makefile and 
such, but it will matter greatly on someone elses machine that doesn't 
have all the deps installed already.

There has to be, someplace, a utility than can scan the files in a 
tarballs unpacked and configured tree, or in an svn checkout tree after 
its been ./configured, and build a list of the dependencies this package 
has.  If there is not, I can't believe its not on somebodies list of 
usefull tools.

build-dep from the rpm-utils package, has been suggested as one 
possibility, which is why I ask why this package isn't available in a 
fedora compatible rpm.
