cool. does that also work for external dependencies ?
and perhaps also basen on the current build onfiguration ?

this could be helpful to find out whether certain libs are
unnecessarily linked in. for example, a few days ago, i was working
on --enable-dbus+friends and found out that this is just an dependency
for other optional features and is completely useless if they're
switched off.
