Getting tired of trying to work out which packages have been
	updated, and also which ones have outdated DEPENDS entries I've
	come up with a perl script that can:

		Check installed package versions against pkgsrc
		Check all the DEPENDS entries in pkgsrc and warn on errors

	A sample of the latter output is given at the end.

	Questions:
	      - Are DEPENDS of the form 'teTeX-*' legitimate?
	      - Would anyone like a copy? :)
	      - Should I commit (a definitely cleaned up) version of
		this under pkgtools? Ideas for a name (I currently
		call it 'pkg_check').
