[pacman-dev] Doing more stuff with optdepends

[Dario Freddi]

Let me add more fire here: what I feel is really missing is an option (maybe a 
pmtransflag for implementation details) for installing optdepends. Otherwise, 
even with those suggestions, they really remain nothing but some lines of 
text. It could be implemented as a flag (better imho) or as a pacman.conf 
option
