[Yum-devel] [PATCH] Handle avail_po.returnPrco('strong_requires') in RpmBase.

I see.  Thought strong_requires are "additional" requires that 
only RPM knows about, but it's a subset of requires actually.

AIUI, Yum does not need requireflags when installing packages,
and in all other cases we can just ask RPM.  So it's really
not of much use anyway.

I think that would be ok, too.
