Or we really could rpm something up, then <exec> something to look at it


Mmmh, what can the RPM do?
1) add files (e.g. the program files)
2) modify files (e.g. config files)
3) environemt settings (or is that 2?)

So the scenario would be:
- create the rpm
- compare these modifications
  1) checked against the content of a (unzipped) zip file
  2) check if "our" settings are inserted
  3) dito
- clean
  problem: have to backup the files for 2) before and hope that
  no files else were modified. Or is there a possibility on *nix to
  "undo" an installation?

We cant actually install an RPM; you need to be root. But there are some rpm commands to list the contents of a repository; we could parse the output and look for strings.
