Good question from MrsB : must we link only the needed binary RPMs, or all 
those coming from the SRPM ?

Example : qt4-database-plugin-sqlite-4.7.3-1.mga1.i586.rpm is needed, will we 
link all packages from the qt4 SRPM or only qt4-database-plugin-
sqlite-4.7.3-1.mga1.i586.rpm ? The first option is probably cleaner, but this 
means copy much more packages.

Best regards
