Sorry about the formatting.  This is the first list I've ever seen
complain about it.

Anyway, since the first message, I packaged it myself to see exactly
what it does.  It is used as a wrapper for rpmbuild.  It uses strace
to determine which files are used in the building of a rpm, and then
uses rpm queries to determine which package(s) those files came from,
and lists them.  Thus making it easier to see exactly what packages
are needed to build the new one.

It looks like it was last packaged a long time ago in RedHat 7.  I can
throw my slightly modified SRPM up somewhere if you'd like to take a
look.
