Now that is starting to look handy, from here how hard is:

from:

opengl|devel|esdl
opengl|devel|mingw-opengl-headers
opengl|emulators|linux-pete-mesagpu
opengl|emulators|linux-pete-xgl2gpu
opengl|games|BillardGL
opengl|games|airrox
opengl|games|briquolo

to 

Things that use opengll|Things that use java|devel|esdl
Things that use opengl|Things that use java|devel|mingw-opengl-headers
Things that use opengl|Things that use java|emulators|linux-pete-mesagpu

Things that use opengll|Things that don't use java|games|BillardGLThings that

People would have to agree to a reasonable depth, I assume your program wants
to subcategorize a few tags anyways so at least three levels of tags?  If you
do this I'll put something rough together that for now just prints a listing, 
later something more useful will come to mind.  Will you be keeping this 
database updated on your site for awhile or is this just a short term 
experiment?
