# The purpose of this script is to find as much dependencies of a binary
# as possible. A dependecy is for example a library which is directly
# referenced in the binary.
#

# XXX: it doesn't handle calls to dlopen() or the corresponding libltdl
# function. I don't know if this is needed to detect references to stuff
# which can be added as LIB_DEPENDS.
