That's pretty neat. It's obvious in retrospect, but I never thought
of it...

Ah, there's the difficulty, of course :-) That's where a utility to
report the dependencies would help... (It may be pretty trivial, but I

setuptools documentation is more for *creators* of eggs, than for
*users* of them...)
