Requires: rpm is needed for mingw32-cmake, mingw32-configure, mingw32-make, and
mingw32-pkg-config wrapper scripts which call 'rpm -E' to expand rpm macros.
I'd say that most people who use the mingw32 cross compiler need one of these
scripts, so it makes sense to keep Requires: rpm so that these scripts mostly
work out of the box.

Another question is if mingw32-filesystem should also require cmake, make, and
pkg-config just for the reason to keep all of the scripts above working. I'd
say no here with the rationale that people don't usually need _all_ of the
above scripts working; a person building an autoconf based project wouldn't
need cmake installed. This differs from requiring rpm because neither of these
scripts work without rpm; however if people want to use mingw32-cmake they
should expect that they need cmake installed too.

I agree with Felipe that instead of requiring rpmlint the package should just
co-own /etc/rpmlint/ directory.
