I like that new Appendix - great way to list all the dependencies. I've
attached a patch with some dependency (and text) corrections, as well as
a couple of packages that were left out entirely. Also, I have some
additional comments...
1. Any instance of "DejaGNU and Expect" for testsuites can probably be
changed to just "DejaGNU" since Expect is run by DejaGNU.
2. For packages without a testsuite, I think it would be more accurate
to label their testsuite deps. as "N/A" rather than "None".
