Exactly.

That looks like what I meant yes. Maybe the :: and : can even be
reversed too :

#v+
>samba-3.0.21a,1::samba-3.0.21b,1
>libtool-1.3.5_1::libtool-1.3.5_2
:>boehm-gc-6.6_1::boehm-gc-6.6_2
::>w3m-0.5.1_3::w3m-0.5.1_4
#v-

That feels slightly more logical to me ;-) This shows nicely what will
be built in which order and why.

Thanks for your effort.
