The docs are incomplete and lack a short explanation on build
requirements which are dependencies of core packages. Packages which
are considered fundamental for the Fedora build environment also
belong to that list.

The "fedora-rpmdevtools" packages pulls in a few additional packages
which in turn pull in even more dependencies.

  $ rpm -qR fedora-rpmdevtools
  bzip2  
  config(fedora-rpmdevtools) = 0:0.0.20-0.fdr.1
  cpio  
  diffutils  
  gcc  
  gcc-c++  
  gzip  
  make  
  patch  
  python  
  redhat-rpm-config  
  rpm-build  
  rpm-python  
  rpmlib(CompressedFileNames) <= 3.0.4-1
  rpmlib(PayloadFilesHavePrefix) <= 4.0-1
  sed  
  tar
