Summary: add "-showDeps" option to light

Initial Comment:
When integrating WiX into an existing buildsystem (like makefiles) you need to 
tell the buildsystem which dependencies a given .msi file has (the buildsystem 
determines when to rebuild the .msi file based on the dependencies). 
Instead of having to manually write dependency rules for each file that is 
included into the installer 
(fx. myapp.msi : myprog.dll myprog.exe myprog.ico ...) it would be nice to have 
the posibility to have "light" output a list of dependencies when linking 
(somewhat similar to the "-showIncludes" option of the Visual C++ "cl" 
preprocessor)
(see also request: 1675772)
