When trying to build/install any given package, a reasonably easy-
to-use, intrinsic-to-pkgsrc mechanism of finding out all other
packages pkgsrc will try to install/what it is pkgsrc will try to
do is an element of what makes pkgsrc superior technology.  Plan-
ning for bandwidth consumption (e.g., for downloads) & build
duration, plus security considerations (e.g., determining which
packages among those to be installed have vulnerabilities of what
severity, and adapting choices accordingly), are examples of
reasons the "what pkgsrc will try to do" info is needed.

It wouldn't surprise me if there's a better way to accomplish this,
although I haven't found it.  (A separate, installable package
that does so doesn't count, though).
