Creating the script on the fly and using %{__perl_requires} $* instead
of hard-coding /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires does solve the immediate

Though I still think we either need to ship /usr/lib/rpm/find-requires
or point %{__find_requires} to something else
(/usr/lib/rpm/find-req.pl perhaps?).

Opinions?

That would certainly address the issues my cited examples are trying
to solve. :)
