	The idea isn't to create a big graph showing lots of dependencies ...
that's been done before e.g.:

  http://adrian.gimp.org/rpm-graph/p0002338.jpg

	We want to make this stuff easier to digest.

	In this case, you identify likely suspect packages and then pull browse
through sub-graphs that helps you figure out what caused that package to
be pulled in.

Cheers,
Mark.
