...it also handles the "autodep" and "incver_ifdep" stuff in setup.hint.

"autodep" (and "noautodep") seems to have a bug, though, as we discussed
a while back.  It seems to miss adding some of the required dependencies.

"incver_ifdep" is still used in _update-info-dir unfortunately.  It would
be nice to make this a perpetual postinstall script instead.
