Making the package tools available to non-root users is very cool.  Thanks!

I'm wondering whether the following scenario might need some additional
support from the tools:

1. user U pkgadd's application App in $HOME.  App depends on library
   Lib, which is currently installed at the system level, so the pkgadd
   succeeds.

2. root pkgrm's Lib for some reason

3. user U runs App, which fails with a (somewhat obscure) message about
   a missing .so

I suspect that it's not feasible for the pkgrm to detect in step 2 that
App depends on Lib.

Is there some easy way for user U to determine that (s)he now needs to
install the Lib package in $HOME?
