This document explains how to make a library package conform to new policy 
scheme, but not really how to adapt other package to use it via 
provide/require tags.
For instance, given current SDL provides tags, how must i now specify that an 
application requires SDL >= 1.1.6 ?
[guillaume@agathe guillaume]$ rpm -q -provides libSDL1.2
SDL12 = 1.2.0-2mdk
libSDL-1.2.so.0
libSDL1.2 = 1.2.0-2mdk
[guillaume@agathe guillaume]$ rpm -q -provides libSDL1.2-devel
libSDL-devel = 1.2.0-2mdk
libSDL1.2-devel = 1.2.0-2mdk
