------- Additional Comments From acedit AT armory.com  2005-09-23 07:59 -------
have you looked at the dependency following feature in devel dispel? It 
already
does this, and a while lot more.

you can remove orphans or non-orphans
you can remove parent spells
you can recast parent spells without their optional depends on the current 
spell
its recursive in both directions
theres an extremely flexible set of command line options and a menu to select 
a
default behavior

from dispel --help
The following parameters effect dependency following, if they are not
specified the default action is to do no dependency following. For
a more in-depth explaination refer to the manual

                        The following 5 parameters accept one of the following
                        4 parameters:
                        ignore, ask-yes, ask-no, always

--orphan                Default action for dispelling a newly orphaned child 
                        spell.
--non-orphan            Default action for dispelling a dependee of
                        another spell, that is not an orphan (doing this
                        will break the spells that still depend on it).

--child                 Default action for dispelling a child spell that
                        is either an orphan or non-orphan.

--recast-parent         If a spell has a child removed from under it, the
                        spell is considered broken, if all of the removed
                        children are optional, the spell may be recast
                        without those depends. This option controls the
                        default for this action.
--dispel-parent         Default action for dispelling broken parents,
                        the user is asked for recasting if possible first.

--user-deps             Use defaults for dependency following from the
--user-child-deps       sorcery menu for child and/or parent dependency
--user-parent-deps      following.

Heres a sample:

#dispel --child ask-yes spamassassin
Dispelled spell: spamassassin
db_file is an orphan.
Would you like to dispel it [y] n
razor-agents is an orphan.
Would you like to dispel it [y] n
perl is not an orphan.
Would you like to dispel it [y] n
html-parser is not an orphan.
Would you like to dispel it [y] y
Dispelled spell: html-parser
digest-sha1 is not an orphan.
Would you like to dispel it [y] n
net-dns is not an orphan.
Would you like to dispel it [y] n
perl is not an orphan.
Would you like to dispel it [y] n
html-tagset is not an orphan.
Would you like to dispel it [y] n

You could of course say
dispel --orphan ask-yes --non-orphan ignore spamassasin to do what you
suggested. You can also use the 'always' option and not have questions :-)
