Proposal for another category in INDEX: common_deps

Hello porters,
Currently in the INDEX files there are 13 categories describing
dependencies, 2 of which are:
8. build_deps
9. run_deps
I just ran a quick analysis with a Perl script and found that there
are a number of similarities in the build_deps and run_deps fields in
the INDEX files -- so many that I think that items common to both
build_deps and run_deps should be isolated and put into a new category
called 'common_deps':
I've posted my results to
<http://students.washington.edu/youshi10/posted/INDEX-analysis-part2.log>,
and I've posted my script at:
<http://soc2007-freebsd-project-hosting.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/field_analyzer.pl>.
Questions and comments are more than welcome.
Thanks,
-Garrett
