cool!

One more update to my script - byte ranges are now handled correctly.

 http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/metadata/rpm-md-dump.py
and
 http://linux.duke.edu/~skvidal/metadata/rpm-metadata4.xml


the ranges code is documented heavily b/c it was the only way to keep me
from going a bit insane.

if you read the header out of the rpm via a byte-range you and want to
import it in python you have to use:
rpm.readHeaderListFromFD(fdno)

then iterate over the list it hands back.
