[Slackbuilds-users] New orphans

[J. Milgram]

As a way to drum up responses, I wonder if it'd be easy to extend 
sbocheck to flag currently installed packages that are marked as 
orphans... the idea being that if you have it installed, it's likely 
you'll want to see it maintained.

I happened to see a package I use on the list, so I'll take it. But it 
was dumb luck that I noticed it.
