Hi,

All this talk about trace mode has made me wonder if one couldn't use the 
foundation on which it's built to determine the dependencies one should declare 
for a port. Creating a new portfile that's always the big question for me, 
starting with a rather complete install like mine: have I omitted none of the 
new port's dependencies?

I'm guessing that with a filter in place that can detect all files a configure 
and/or build process accesses in ${prefix} but outside of `port work foo` it 
should be possible to generate the dependency tree ... and even to simplify it 
so that only direct dependencies are shown. Correct?

If so, even sounds like a nice GSoC "bone" (to gnaw on).

R.
