I remember reading something in Knuth (possibly somewhere in vol 3, I've got rid of my Knuths... :( ) about the relationship between dependency solving and partial ordering of sets. He presented a very simple algorithm there to do the solving. -- You are in a maze of little twisting passages, all alike.
