Coincidentaly enough, I just finished the first part of a script to do
just that. It runs and tellse you if you have removed any required
spells. Currently it doesn't check if optional depends are necessary,
but that will be next.

I think something like this should be added to dispel, or at the very
least to cast --fix!
