[Rpm-metadata] scripts and options

Hey,
 I was trying to write up all the things I wanted to have as options to
the rpm-md-dump script to make creating a repository very simple and so
I have the final steps I need to take to finish out the scripts.

Here is rough sketch:

genPkgMetadata [--urlbase='some path'] [--exclude='some wildcard'] dir
genRepoMetadata --basefile= --fileslist= --otherfile= [--groupsfile=]
(maybe --gpgkey=, allowed multiple times) --output=

so the first script generates your package metadata, obviously and dumps
them out to some files in the current dir or maybe in the dir you
specify. Maybe it outputs the file locations on stdout when it's done.

The second script generates the repository metadata and writes it out
where --output points to.

Does that make any sense? Does anyone even care?
