Not a bad idea; having to manually yum install the appropriate 
dependencies has annoyed me.

Manually adding -devel shouldn't really be necessary if/once we have the 
appropriate Requires: and BuildRequires: entries (the latter would 
contain all the appropriate -devel packages).

(The .spec file I use has both Requires and BuildRequires; if I can ever 
find the time to finish cleaning it up, I'll check it in.)
