 Macports should has a better control of dependencies when we like
 uninstall a program. For example if i like install the packages foo, i do
 '''sudo port install foo''' and automaticly install all dependencies
 necesary for the package perfect but if Do i like uninstall the packages ?
 '''sudo port uninstall foo''' only deinstall foo but i before in the
 install foo to installed B,C,D macports should deinstall (for example with
 the option '''sudo port uninstall --with-unused-dependencies foo''') B,C,D
 always that this dependencies isn't used by other packages. With this
 option we can have a system very clean of unused dependencies.

 I think that this option it can add in futures version of macports if is
 possible. Thank you very much.
