"bitbake python-pyxml -g" and then look through the task-depends.dot
file. These do contain the dependency data but its not the most readable
file format, better ways of viewing the output welcome...

I do have some prototype graphical code that views this output which
also isn't ideal but is a nice excuse to play with bitbake trunk, I'll
see if I can find time to make the commitable in the next few days
too...
