[Sc-devel] Some more Quark questions

1. Quarks.gui looks great (thanks Till) but it displays only
checked-out quarks. I would have thought it would display everything
in the directory and allow you to checkout, update, install and
uninstall from the panel.

If selective checkouts are supported, it seems to me that the GUI
should support it also.

2. Dependency checking is going to be very important to me, for
splitting up dewdrop_lib into more manageable chunks. That leaves a
couple of questions:

2a. Are dependencies checked only at install time, or also at checkout
time? Seems to me it should be both. (Looks like another place where
it has been casually assumed that everybody will check everything out
by default.)

2b. Is dependency checking recursive? It's hard to tell from a quick
glance at the code.
