Feature #11253: Provide useful console/terminal views of the graph when relevant

We produce graphs in Puppet.

These graphs are useful for debugging relationship/ordering problems, and 
identifying dependency cycles.

The frustration however is that you generally need to get to a GUI desktop app 
to actually view these graphs.

We should work out how to provide useful text/terminal/console views of the 
relevant parts of the graph for different situations.

See: <http://search.cpan.org/~tels/Graph-Easy/bin/graph-easy> for a CPAN module 
that can do ascii views of graphs.

<pre>
        echo "[ Bonn ] -- car --> [ Berlin ], [ Ulm ]" | graph-easy

        +--------+  car   +-----+
        |  Bonn  | -----> | Ulm |
        +--------+        +-----+
          |
          | car
          v
        +--------+
        | Berlin |
        +--------+
</pre>
