How to build an RPM distro chroot with the minumum of tools...

I've written an evil bash script that will (just about) resolve dependencies 
of an rpm based distributions files, and install them in to a chroot. It 
appears to work on my debian system quite well, with just the straight debian 
version of "rpm" from unstable, and some sed, grep and temporary files.

If you're interested in taking a look, then it's available at 
http://www.sommitrealweird.co.uk/development/rpmbased-dist-chroot.html .

I've written a small script that should basically bootstrap any modern .rpm 
based distribution in to a given directory. I've currently only tested it 
with Fedora Core 4, as that happened to sort of be at hand at the time.

The script relies on bash, sed, rpm, grep, sort and uniq... so, basically 
things that are available on most linux boxes (or at least can be installed 
simply).

The current release is: rpmbased-dist-chroot-0.1.0.tar.gz
