Gemi did this actually.  Here is the list of files:

It just lists the requirements (dependencies) of the ocaml-calendar
package.

For comparison, here are symbols provided by the same:

  $ rpm -q --provides ocaml-calendar
  ocaml(Calendar) = db8ca9a52d58e744b63d354d36f12620
  ocaml(Date) = 57886756cbdb3aa1db37638a7809f610
  ocaml(Period) = e220d29e5b87b6ec8b8b474a2ae54685
  ocaml(Printer) = 4454f0bfed349268f57ffd82a7d78499
  ocaml(Time) = 35fe4ca99bb3640b22bc286fc97adff5
  ocaml(Time_Zone) = 23b711a8eb543e69e6f53d67a0eccf57
  ocaml-calendar = 1.10-5

The symbols are generated automagically by scanning the OCaml objects
(*.cmi, *.cmo, *.cma) using ocamlobjinfo.  The two scripts attached to
this bugzilla do it:

  http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239004

(scroll down to near the bottom).
