We'd need a fair bit more stuff than is in fedora-rpmdevtools:
 - createrepo, buildsys-macros, python, rpm-python, 

take a look at the contents of this file:
http://fedoraproject.org/buildgroups/4/i386/buildroots.xml

that's what we need and that's a bit of a problem for
fedora-rpmdevtools.

right and in the buildroots.xml we include all the automakes and
autoconf.

I think we'd be better off with NOT confusing the purposes of
fedora-rpmdevtools package and the mock build packages, not to mention
that I'd like to make sure this is written so it can be used for !fedora
distributions, too.

I know I'm not using mock just for building fedora-based things; I'm
sure others aren't either.
