You want the script autodeps/solaris.prov from the rpm src tree. This script
is installed as /usr/lib/rpm/find-provides.

You might also look at scripts/vpkg-provides* which automates much of the
effort of generating a package that describes library sonames and executables
that exist on a system that is not entirely managed by rpm. You'll need
to diddle the scripts in minor ways to get them to "work".

Yup. Depends on how you have setup your system.
