[TriLUG] RPM question: Requires vs Prereq

Does anyone know the difference between the Requires tag and the Prereq tag 
in an RPM spec file?  http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ only seems to discuss the 
Requires tag, but I see that, for example, Red Hat's postgresql.spec file 
uses both.  Is there something that I can do with one that I can't do with 
the other?

Thanks,
