gst-load loads all dependencies of your packages (the <prereq> tags' 
contents).  I don't remember them all, but definitely Sport depends on 
Sockets, Swazoo depends on Sport, Iliad-Swazoo depends on Swazoo, 
Iliad-More-Magritte depends on Magritte, and your own package depends on 
Iliad and so on.
