Manage dependencies

Settings level:	Advanced
Description:	Many add-ons require other add-ons to work. These are called dependencies. An example of this are Skins that install other add-ons to provide further features. When a skin or other type of add-on is uninstalled, it may leave behind add-on dependencies. Items listed as "Orphaned" are no longer required by any add-ons and are safe to uninstall.
