I studied the postfix.spec throughly, the following lines to check
those manually build mysql from source tarball.

%if %{mysql_local}
BuildRequires: %{mysql_include}/mysql.h
Requires: %{mysql_lib}/libmysqlclient.so
%endif

The case is if I remark these check, postfix can build & make
sucessfully with mysql support. My question is the BuildRequires and
Requires tag is to check whether a rpm package is exist in the system.
If look at this
it will look like
BuildRequires: /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/mysql.h
Requires: /usr/local/mysql/lib/mysql/libmysqlclient.so

does the tags also check a file ??
or it recgoznie /usr/local/mysql/include/mysql/mysql.h is a package name
