I want to do just the opposite. I want to start with the minimum set
of installed binaries and build a complete binary distribution from
its sources. (That means finding the root of the dependency graph and
starting there, assuming there actually is one. It isn't necessarily a
single rpm. People like to make circular dependancies!)
