I'm sorry to say, that I don't know about any either.  And I don't think
there will be a comprehensive list of that unless it is done
automatically.  The dependencies change both ways and unless there's a
commit hook (highly unlikely) or a (syntax-)check for that (still
unlikely, I guess) I wouldn't depend on such list.

Having said that, doxygen's graph could be a little helpful.  Also AFAIK
the documentation could say whether the guest agent is needed or not.
If it's not mentioned, that could be fixed in no time.
