Yeh, I've seen various tools that attempt to do this, but:

- I don't necessarily want it to compile the whole document multiple
  times until it figures out all the deps
- these tools don't integrate with dnf/rpm using our excellent 
  "Provides: tex(...sty)" system

So, I came up with this as a Fedora specific way.
I've put it in a separate repo as `fedtex` now:
https://pagure.io/fedtex

I'll go package it up and submit it for review. Please do test it out
and suggest improvements/fixes/features.
