I spent some time today working on the algorithm for finding package
dependencies from INDEX and
managed to improve it a lot, so now dependencies are being found in
times faster than before (!!)

The previous algorithm was recursing over the INDEX file in order to
find all dependencies to build a tree-view of
the package dependencies, and now only 1 iteration is needed to
accomplish this :)

Now, only if there was a libpkg ready, then pkg_add_it(1) could be
transformed into a standalone install tool, which does not need
pkg_add(1) for it's job :)
