I opened FPC ticket for this: https://fedorahosted.org/fpc/ticket/398

I am currently working on RPM dependency generator for RubyGems and it
would be helpful to properly handle versions such as 4.1.0.rc1. While
this fails:

$ rpmdev-vercmp 4.1.0 4.1.0.rc1
4.1.0 < 4.1.0.rc1

It could be transformed into

$ rpmdev-vercmp 4.1.0 4.1.0~rc1
4.1.0 > 4.1.0~rc1

Which works as expected.
