AutoRequires is a dubious thing. They are extremely over zealous on what is put
in there, which binds the rpm to a platform when it really doesn't have to
be. Also, rpmmacros files tend to be tuned to a distro. So an rpm with
AutoRequires run on a Red Hat box, won't allow itself to be installed on
Mandrake, when it very well could run there.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors than
zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
