Is it possible to dynamize "requires" at RPM build time?

Oohhh.

Well, how would you suggest a build-time dependency be generated for
non-library stuff?  For example, I build a separate sendmail config RPM,
and I have it depend on the version of sendmail that the sendmail-cf
used during build it is built against (e.g. if sendmail-cf 8.12.7 is
used to build the config, sendmail-8.12.7 is required).

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
