I am not at all against having scripts for normal dependency generation. But their are a few important differences to the BuildRequires:

- They have to be attached to a sub package and cannot be global
- We may want to (be able to) associate the script to files - so we need a way of passing the fileattr macros (path, flags, magic).
- They don't need the funky stop build, install new deps and restart build cycle
So they need to be done a different way as the %generate_buildrequires script anyway. So while I agree we should add those it is probably best to concentrate on the topic at hand first.

Also not sure if %generate_buildrequires vs %generate buildrequires really makes a lot of difference.
