>Description:
Using 'pkg_info -u' to get a list of packages to install does not always
work well when the stupid user has been updating packages manually. This
patch adds an -A for Application option that causes pkg_info to only print
packages that do not have any other packages depending on them (ie Apps)

This patch doesnt work completely either, since build dependencies show
up in the list but that could be a feature if you look at it hard enough..

% pkg_info -A | wc -l
      64
% pkg_info -a | wc -l
     260
% pkg_info -u | wc -l
     169
