Description of problem:
I have a package which needs to run 'autoreconf' during its build to
re-generate autotools files. I have a BuildRequires: autoconf automake libtool
gettext  to pull in the neccessary pieces for autoreconf to run, however it
still fails because for some crazy reason 'autopoint' requires CVS but does not
depend on it

+ autoreconf -if
autopoint: *** cvs program not found
autopoint: *** Stop.
autoreconf: autopoint failed with exit status: 1
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.wXXjKZ (%build)
RPM build errors:
    Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.wXXjKZ (%build)

# rpm -q gettext --requires | grep cvs


Note the missing dep on cvs, even though it is used.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gettext-0.17-12.fc11.i586


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. yum install gettext
2. make sure cvs is not installed
3. Ru autopoint

Actual results:
Fails due to missing cvs

Expected results:
Installing the RPM installs all binaries required for the RPM to work.
