  well, that's just weird since, as i mentioned, "rpm" showed
*nothing* on the system that depended on any of those.  since this is
a play system, i'm tempted to just remove them all and see what
happens.  if the system falls over and dies, no big deal.

  i'll play with rpm a bit longer -- there must be *something* that's
causing all those packages to be dragged in.
