The other way round one can argue about hgview pulling in "half-a-desktop",
even if user just needs/wants ncurses interface, e.g. on terminal-only machine.

So I though a bit about it and come in with another aproach making both sides
happy, I hope.

When you have a look at the attached patch, you'll see I changed package-order
a bit.  There are three pkgs now: hgview (is what was former -common) depending
hgview-ui and hgview-{curses,qt} providing hgview-ui, requiring hgview.

This results in 

  a) the user can choose which ui to install

  b) even just installing hgview will install an ui, so we have a working base
     install. Yum should be smart enough to pull in the
     "cheaper = less bandwith/disk" ui.

What's your opinion to this?
