Sure -- there were some dependencies in Everything that required me to 
go and hunt down specific RPMS (see the needed_for_70 file in the F7 
tree).  In addition to that there was a strange circular dependency that 
I could not resolve with mkisofs:

mkisofs has been replaced by cdrkit's genisoimage.

In order to build cdrkit I did the following:

1.  Downloaded cmake-2.4.6.tar.gz from cmake.org
2.  Installed source tgz, built, and installed cmake binary
3.  Grabbed

        cmake-2.4.6-3.fc7.src.rpm
        xmlrpc-c-1.06.11-2.fc7.src.rpm
        cdrkit-1.1.2-4.fc7.src.rpm

4.  Built xmlrpc-c binaries via

        rpmbuild --rebuild --nodeps xmlrpc-c-1.06.11-2.fc7.src.rpm

5.  After yum update to install xml-rpm-c-devel, built cmake binaries via

        rpmbuild --rebuild cmake-2.4.6-3.fc7.src.rpm

6.  After yum update to installc cmake, built cdrkit binaries via

        rpmbuild --rebuild cdrkit-1.1.2-4.fc7.src.rpm

7.  Via yum update installed genisoimage.

There is also a lot of looking at logs (from the rpmbuilds) to determine 
why a build failed....
