Do a web search on the filenames.  Use syntax like "+filename +rpm" in
google.  There are numerous web sites (eg. http://rpmfind.net/) that
list the contents of RPMs.

If that doesn't work, cut-n-paste the dependencies into an email to this
list.  I'm sure folks here can help you.

ps - Often the filename will be very similar to the name of the RPM 
     package that provides it...
