Time for a new Linux

[Peter L. Peres]

The way dependencies work, all you have to do is set up a consistent
notation. The 'machine' that walks this data is simply a recursive
algorythm that goes depth-first. No magic is involved. It does not matter
if the database is umpteen gazillions of rpm database, or a makefile (make
does the recursive depth-first search). Make is fairly fast (it compiles
the database - aka makefile - before starting to work on it). Also make
can call itself recursively on subdirectories and/or other files.
