pacman -R $(pacman -Qq | grep -v "$(pacman -Qqg base)")
Though I havn't tested that, it should work :)
I was pondering that one last night before bed. Good thing I gave up.
:P . I did test it, except for replacing the pacman -R bit with echo
$(... and it works.
Cool. I haven't run it because it seemed to want to remove pacman, but
maybe I did something wrong. At this point it looks like I'll be
reinstalling any way, so if it wrecks my system, it's not a big deal.
I'll report back.

Hmm, well I did try it with just the pacman -R at the start and it
refused, saying there were unsatisfied dependencies. With the -Rc opt,
it tries to remove kernel26... hmm. pacman -Rd .... would create all
hell, but it wouldn't complain... maybe an reinstall would be for the best.
