I think I know what Sherlock was talking about.

One of the features of the PM is that it will automatically add dependency 
scripts/libraries that were reference by your project through a "require" 
command. You can also manually add this dependency though library tab.

I too find that this feature as very useful particularly when building 
distribution files and/or tracking down bugs when the script has been 
built/compiled. :) So yes, if the standalone script is decommitted ... a tool 
should be built to display the dependencies.

May be write that a [note] section ;-)

Actually PM, as now. cannot infer the dependency by itself, it relies
on what you told it.
