Is it just me or wouldn't it be nice if `brew` could keep some sort of textfile or anything with the installed packages w/ dependencies?
i.e

package1
dep. 1 - installed (or just (i) for installed and (n) for not installed)
dep. 2 - (i)
dep. 3 - (n)

So it would be easier to see if a package is missing a dependency, these already is named in the formulae so it shouldn't be hard to code imo, or if you want to uninstall a package with its dependencies(IF they are unused by other packages) i.e

$ brew rm package 1 dep. 1 dep. 2

I at least will think that this is pretty handy
