* In order to avoid breakage of link level dependencies, one or more
 * packages will not be removed. This can be solved by rebuilding the
 * packages that pulled them in.
 *
 *   media-libs/libdvdread-0.9.7 pulled in by:
 *     app-cdr/k3b-1.0.5-r2
 *
 *   dev-libs/libcroco-0.6.1 pulled in by:
 *     sys-devel/gettext-0.17
 *

Should be quite easy to first remove things not matched by use flags in RDEPEND and then compare that list against the libs needed by the installed elf files.

Let's call this a duplicate of the newer one as there's more discussion in it.
