I've got loads and loads of ports installed on my box, most of which I
probably don't use, but I've no idea which ones these are.  Things like
kde install lots of dependancies, and so I've no idea just by looking at
the installed port names which ones I need and which ones I don't need.

It should be possible to display ports and their dependancies as a
connected graph, and then the ports that appear on the leaves of the
tree would be the ones that I can consider removing.

Does anyone have any code for doing something like this?  I thought
I'd ask before I started knocking it up myself.

Thanks,
Joe
