Re: wip/pkg_rmleaves

I imported pkg_rmleaves from FreeBSD Ports into pkgsrc-wip.  This tool
scans the pkg dbdir for leaf packages and displays them in a dialog menu
(or optionally xdialog or kdialog).  The user can then choose which leaf
packages he wants to remove, and which he wants to keep.  After the removal
pkg_rmleaves checks for new leaf packages and shows those again, and so on
until no more new leaf packages are found.

I also added a -a flag to make pkg_rmleaves act only on automatically
installed packages (according to pkg_info -Qautomatic), as suggested by
dillo.

I hope you'll find this package useful.

Maybe have  a look at pkg_delete -R in that context.
