I think it's a matter of more complex BuildRequires.txt parsing:
Figuring out that e.g. for avifile-devel versions (-infty,0.6) are of
epoch 0, [0.6,0.7.15) -- epoch 1, [0.7.15,+infty) -- epoch 2. And then
using rpmvercmp on the version required by the spec to figure out which
range covers it.

BuildRequires.txt is structured enough to support such a mechanism
(well, except for the free-form automake: line).
