There was a recent thread about about what should or should not be in
the world file.

Regarding that, my world file is bloated.  Until recently, I had a
tendency to do updates piecemeal but did not use --oneshot.  This put
packages in that I do not think belong.

Looking for a means to clean up the world file, I ran across Ed Catmur's
 "dep".

Has anyone here used it?  Is it the best means available to clean the
world file?  Anything in the gentoo tree to do this?

BTW, I ran it with the --pretend option and it told me that 44 of the
119 packages in my world file were redundant.
