 Indeedy doody. Roman has a nice set of Ruby scripts, which in
 conjunction with acme's dependancy graph scripts make for some
 interesting reading.

 It's tedious work unraveling some of the dependancies, but it's
 paid off quite a bit already. (For a real horror story, see
 the raid includes. They pull in an obscene amount of extra
 headers 8-)
