Non-circular dependencies create a directed acyclic graph (DAG),
not necessarily a tree.
I'm sure Heiko actually knew this, but being the kind of smart-
ass I am, I can't resist the chance to correct him on things he
already knew twice in one day. Earlier he wrote "large prime"
where he clearly meant "large integer". I trust he will take
this post in the spirit in which it is intended.
