A couple of minor issues:
yum will install file deps by: yum install /path/to/file/you/need
but it won't do virtual provides in that syntax

I could easily add virtual provides support into 'yum install' in cvs-HEAD and this problem goes away - I'm just wondering would it make more sense to hack yum to make it comply with mach2 or to hack mach2 to make it work with yum.
IMHO it should be done in yum. I often ran into this problem already during normal yum usage (e.g. built tests outside a build system / directly from CVS). Typing $ yum install XFree86-devel is easier and a lot faster faster then $ yum provides XFree86-devel <filter result> $ yum install xorg-x11-devel
