A bunch of dependency analysis code is checked in to Ryppl.

About a year ago I used it to make these graphs which I think are more
informative than the ones I see on your blog.

Of course, I don't remember anymore what the color coding and line
styles signify, but that information is probably easily extracted from
the source code.
