Doh, I knew that ...

It's not ideal(ly readable) but it'll do.
Would it be hard to add an (optional) ascii rendering of a tree, i.e. using '|' characters to do something like

  git
  |  curl
  .  |  pkgconfig
  .  .  |  libiconv
  .  .  .  |  gperf
  .  |  libidn
  .  .  |  libiconv
  .  .  .  |  gperf
  .  .  |  gettext
  .  .  .  |  expat
  .  .  .  |  libiconv
  .  .  .  .  |  gperf
  .  .  .  |  ncurses

Which looks a lot busier but which should make it less easy to lose track of depth when you have to scroll up and down the tree.
