Waooh! this is very cute.

While we are in python i have something which draws 
graphviz dependency graphs for ports here
http://www.lpthe.jussieu.fr/~talon/pkg_check.py

Unfortunately for many ports the diagram becomes completely
unreadable. Your display is wonderful.

Seeing things like your script, the perl script port-easy by des, etc.
i really wonder why people write stuff in C or worse shell for ports.
One could write ten times smarter and ten times shorter things in real
languages like python, lisp, etc. This argument of being "included in
base system" is so completely bogus ...
