Description:
------------
When generating the dependency list on the "download" page, pearweb does not identify optional dependencies, which is confusing.

For example: http://pear.php.net/package/PEAR/download/1.5.0

shows:

"
Dependencies:
...
- PEAR Package: PEAR_Frontend_Web
- PEAR Package: PEAR_Frontend_Gtk
"

whereas actually these are not dependencies, they are suggestions (the "optional" attribute is set in the package.xml)

The funny thing here is that some optional deps (e.g. XML_RPC) are shown with the "(optional)" suffix but some aren't.
