And I scratched my head about how you would find that automatically. If we could, that would be amazing. ;) But it looks from the output like it just mentions every prereq that wasn't satisfied. I don't think that's particularly useful to show for all users, since most of them are platform things that cannot be changed (and you'd never get the list to zero, since some of them are mutually exclusive). -Peff
