The archive differ and extractor operate on many more things than just
rpms, so prefixing them with just rpm- would be misleading.

Hmm, while I don't think there are big problems with the names of things
that do deal with rpms in the package, rpmdev-* could work, it's
sufficiently easy to type, descriptive, and relatively TAB-clash-free.
Here's the current list of utils and some comments about them; feel free
to throw in more suggestions or +1/-1's, I'll look through them late
next week and pick something based on the feedback.
/usr/bin/buildrpmtree
(somewhat misleading/generic? doesn't have to be typed often, so
doesn't matter if a new name would be a bit hard to type)
/usr/bin/diffarchive
/usr/bin/extractarchive
(--> xvf? extarchive? extrarchive? unarchive? dearchive? explode?)
/usr/bin/newrpmspec
/usr/bin/rmdevelrpms
/usr/bin/rpmchecksig
/usr/bin/rpminfo
/usr/bin/rpmmd5
/usr/bin/rpmvercmp
/usr/bin/spectool
/usr/bin/wipebuildtree
(somewhat misleading/generic?)
With rpmdev prefix, maybe something like this. rpmde<TAB>X<TAB> would
work:
/usr/bin/rpmdev-setuptree
/usr/bin/rpmdev-diff
/usr/bin/rpmdev-extract
/usr/bin/rpmdev-newspec
/usr/bin/rpmdev-rmdevel(rpm?)s
/usr/bin/rpmdev-checksig
/usr/bin/rpminfo (upstream name, unchanged)
/usr/bin/rpmdev-md5
/usr/bin/rpmdev-vercmp
/usr/bin/spectool (upstream name, unchanged)
/usr/bin/rpmdev-wipetree
