Can't be done without a massively complicated scripting effort changing
all external dependency helpers used by rpmbuild. Well, it *could* be
handled by massively rewriting rpmfc.c, but there as yet no reason
to undertake the added complexity.

See the functionality at
     rpm -qp --filerequire foo*.rpm

The constraints on the storage in Headers are quite annoying because
rpm does not vave a variable length array data type. Dependencies
and file lists are also sorted within headers.

I thought about doing throug scripts, but decided on "reliable" C  
instead. ;-)
