I built something to examine package.xml declared dependencies to verify 'usage' within the package code - but this was a stupid simple check which verified presence of the package name within the source code of one of the package files. Going the other way, or to do it right, you would need something much more complex. Perhaps instrument the code, identify all the files touched, then trace those files back to relevant packages? A simple check for PEAR(1) packages built on checking the require_once statements might be a start, but with an autoloader implementation it would definitely be more difficult as the files used may change. -- Brett Bieber
