#8. Ability to list the dependency tree for packages, even if some of
the dependencies are masked by keywords, rather than throwing up the
"this package is masked by keywords" error for each one, allowing one to
see *quickly* all of the packages that need keyword changes for a
particular package to have its keywords changed... fex. "emerge
--keywords =kde-base/kde-4.0" should list all of KDE 4.0's dependencies,
and anything that is masked by keywords should show up as "~" or
something... anything masked by package.mask should show up as "M"...
this should have a way of choosing to ignore profile-level masks or not,
also... this is just an example, how we actually get the information
doesn't matter, so long as we can get it...

This would be *really* helpful for arch devs/ATs as well.
