I have added a new file to the shared-libraries CVS module, called 
BuildDepends.list .

If you are creating a new package and you want to be sure to cover all the 
bases with BuildDepends, here's what you do:
  1) Figure out everything that the package depends on (this includes 
      dependencies of dependencies, etc.).  Note that a BuildDepends of
      a Depends *doesn't* need to be included, but it shouldn't hurt to
      include those as well.
  2) For everything on your list, look it up in BuildDepends.list .  If
      "foo" is there, then there will be a reference to either "foo" or
      "foo-dev".  You add the appropriate one of those to your package's
      BuildDepends list.

Sorry that it's not alphabetized!  I might do that at some point.  The syntax
is perl, so if you want, you can plug this into a perl script.

I'll try to keep this list up-to-date as the splitoff project continues.
