I'll go and look for that. But my main point for the Survex authors
was the lack of clues about how to find this out. Binary RPMs specify
their dependencies (which can be hell in itself) but these source
RPMs don't seem to report things like "needs gtk-devel" in the
same way, so more supporting documentation is needed for those
wanting to build Survex who shouldn't have to research a whole
dependency tree themselves (much duplication of effort to find
informatrion which teh authors must already know...)
