It'll be very difficult to do this with any dgree of portability. For
starters, there is no kernel-source package after FC2 (for FC3 you
probably just want a "kernel" dep, and for FC4 "kernel-devel"). Second,
the naming convention for SMP kernel RPMs means that just doing
something like "BuildRequires: kernel-source-%(uname -r)" won't work for
people running SMP kernels.
