Having thought about all these dependencies again, I just want to say
that Chris, you are doing a kick *ss job!  When you guys see the
finished product of what Chris has put together on the deps, you will
be impressed.

I would have never remembered that autoconf used perl modules.  My
method of testing dependencies was to let my scripts go, see if it
bombed anywhere and hope that ICA showed some differences from
changing order.  I only read the logs if I suspected something and
rarely did I go to all the effort of manually removing packages to see
if the one being built depended on the other.  This shows if you look
at the bug and see how many dependencies I figured out vs. how many
Chris did.

Way to go Chris!
