[gentoo-dev] Reverse dep checking (not qpkg -q)

Just a note from the pathetic - can't seem to find any tools for complete
reverse dep checking. qpkg -q is great if you have the deps installed - but
if you want to mark something stable and need to know what else might be
depping it, this can be handy. And since we seem to have a plethora of
script goodie sharing these days...

No warranties, guarantees, or ingenious flags. Just a grepper mostly.

Cheers,

Mike :)

On a related note, I've been using gentoo-portage.com to do this.  I'll
have to try your script and see how it compares :)

You might also want to check "equery depend" (in the latest version of
gentoolkit)... Which also should also work for recursive reverse deps
