The thing that made me think comps.xml wasn't what I wanted was the fact 
that it doesn't list everything I expected. I've actually got a perl 
script that'll parse comps.xml and spit out the packages.

@base expands to two groups, @core and @dialup, and from those two I get 
a list of RPMs. Here's the thing, that list of RPMs has dependancies 
that aren't listed in comps.xml. comps.xml doesn't list 'grep' for example.

Doesn't hdlist list the dependancies for every package so that the 
installer doesn't have to go through every individual RPM itself to get 
this information?
