 *   pt-orphans
       by: Speek
       This script checks for packages that were installed
       as a dependency for another package, but are not
       required by other packages anymore. Orphan packages
       can be removed without breaking anything.
       NOTE: pacman -Qe shows only "explicitly" installed,
       this script shows only packages installed as deps.
