With --unneeded option 'pacman -R' doesn't stop in case of dependency error;
it removes the needed-dependency targets from the target-list instead. See
also: http://archlinux.org/pipermail/pacman-dev/2007-October/009653.html .
The patch also adds a new causingpkg field to pmdepmissing_t which indicates
the to-be-removed package which would cause a dependency break. This is
needed, because miss->depend.name may be a provision. miss->causingpkg will
be useful in -R dependency error messages too.
[Xavier: renamed inducer to causingpkg, removed the _alpm_pkgname_pkg_cmp
helper function as requested by Aaron. This might be added by a further
commit. Other small cleanups, updated manpage and bash completion.]

This is the symmetric of --asdeps, install packages explicitly.
Documentation and completion files were updated accordingly.
Added sync301.py and upgrade032.py pactest files to test this.
I also made a little modification in ALLDEPS handling too.

It turns out the orphan name was misleading. Real orphans are packages
installed as dependency no longer required by any others (-Qtd).
The -t option only shows package not required by any others, so --unrequired
describes it better.

During a pacman operation such as a group install, pacman can ask several
questions such as "local version is up to date. Upgrade anyway?". They are
usually all answered either by yes or by no:
* yes when you want to reinstall all the targets.
* no when you only want to install the missing ones (either because you are
installing a group, or because you are copying a pacman -S line from wiki or
whatever).
So instead of asking this question for each target, it is now now configured
with a flag. Yes will be the default -S behavior, No will be achieved with
the --needed flag.

This operation made sense in the days before sync DBs existed, but it no
longer has the same usefulness it once did.

I wonder how many tools / scripts deal directly with the sync databases under /var/lib/pacman/ ,
I doubt these are the only ones.
