  I've added that functionality for you to the pkgtool included on my cddtk
  archive; to use it update your copy of my repository or get it again from:

    $ svn co https://mixinet.net/svn/cddtk/trunk cddtk

  Build and install the package or use the code directly:

    $ cd cddtk/src
    $ ./pkgtool -p UNCOMPRESSED_PACKAGES_FILE pdeps LIST_OF_PACKAGE_NAMES

  If you want to use more than one PACKAGES_FILE add multiple -p options.

  And, of course, you have the code included (look into ./pkgtool and PyCDD/).
