I guess I disagree. I don't think any beginner needs a massively complex
script which they don't understand...
A couple of notes on the script, however. If you wrote the script then I
suggest that you google a bit for "useless use of cat". The script does a
*lot* of that.. IMHO the script is pretty ugly in general but I guess that
isn't the most important thing.
Worth noting also is that `equery depends` is pretty broken. It gives false
positives and it only works for installed packages. I think pquery from
sys-apps/pkgcore would be a better choice although I obviously haven't tested
it for this purpose.
