What I had talked about earlier was just:
1. iterate ts/tsInfo and build up the file
2. add items into the rpm transaction callback to remove/mark the items
as complete as they occur

What else were you thinking of doing?

Why do you need that patch? You should be able to do that without the
Key() functionality - moreover when was Key() added to the ts bindings?
I'd rather us not get too bound up needing rpm > 4.4 if only b/c it
makes it harder to use things on older distros with requirements like
that.
