_D_e_t_a_i_l_s:

     This function takes as input the 'Found' list from a
     'pkgDependsList' object.  This list will have element names being
     URLs corresponding to repositories and the elements will be
     vectors of package names.  For each element, 'install.packages' is
     called for that URL to install all packages listed in the vector.
