As you've probably found out by now, rpmbuild --nodeps will get rid of 
the dependency check during the build, but not when you come to install 
the resulting rpm, unless you use it again. Also, using rpmbuild 
--nodeps means that the build will fail on stuff which might be 
specified in BuildRequires.

Tim's way is the only way to go.
