When I was working on the original Xorg integration for Solaris
I wrote a perl script to check my packages to make sure I'd listed
all the correct dependencies.   I later expanded this to check all
the X packages, and it's since grown to be used by other consolidations
and even Solaris Install QA.   (You can find a number of bugs in the
Solaris bug db that come from using it.)

Unfortunately, it's still just an SCCS file in my home directory.
Is there a place for it somewhere in the OpenSolaris tools repository?
It's not consolidation specific, so doesn't belong in any particular
consolidation's repository.

I've attached the current version - which bears a simple copyright notice
and no open source license, but since it was 100% written by me for Sun,
I believe open sourcing would be a simple matter of inserting the standard
OpenSolaris CDDL text.

(Before anyone asks, yes, it relies on various unstable output formats,
 so does things we wouldn't recommend in production software, but this
 is a simple developer/QA tool which won't cause too much pain if it
 breaks and can be easily updated when needed.)
