Something like urpmi_rpm-find-leaves ?  But doing a 
urpme $(urpmi_rpm-find-leaves) is probably a BAD idea, as it not onle
removes stale libraries (like libfoo1), but also about all the
applications...  But I don't see how this can be solved, as a stale lib
cannot be distiguished from a normal app.
