Yep, quite a lot of changes went to 1.3, the program was completely
rewritten and introduced a lot of new features :)

Most significant changes were:
 - own-styled lists were replaced by queue(3) macros, so generally now
everything is dynamic and memory leak-free.
 - a lot of new functions dealing with packages, added a configuration modu=
le
 - etc... :)

One thing that can be improved is the recursion introduced by
DEPS_FULL_TREE=3Dtrue, so that dependencies can be found easier and
faster from INDEX, but I'm looking into this already, since I think
that feature is very useful when you need to know the dependencies of
a package in a tree-view.

Marin
