      Thanks for the info. The reason I am asking is that I want to
automate the building of the development environment. So I kinda want
to know which packages I should feed it to get a nice and happy dev
box. You know, tell it "build dev thingie" and then go do groceries
and when I get back home it is ready for business.

So, right now I am working on getting the packages and which order
they should be grabbed.
