I've repeated this cycle hundreds of times in the past year:

$ fink remove foo
...
... can't remove foo because it depends on bar
$ fink remove foo bar
...
... can't remove bar because it depends on bletch
$ fink remove foo bar bletch
... ad nauseum

Isn't there any way to say "fink remove foo-and-anything-that-depends-on-it"?

I can do it from dselect, but sometimes I don't like that interface.
No, s/sometimes/nearly always/, s/don't like/hate/.

It'd be nice to have "fink recursive-remove foo".
