Possible.  But I personally think that "dynamic buidlrequires" should stay
working with BuildRequires, not Sources.

Let me just state my opinion that I don't like this situation coming.
Packaging should be simple task, and should be made simpler, obvious.

That said, I like that package build is just:
SPEC + sources + patches + build dependencies

I'd appreciate the link to spectool rewrite, though.
