root rpm package list?

I know the rpm database has enough info to eventually deduce this,
but is there a simple to use tool that can answer the question:

What rpms are installed on my system that no other rpm
depends on?

In other words, what "root" rpms do I have in my dependency
forest?

Just seems like that would be a nice list of packages to
ask about on my fedora 13 system to compare to my fedora 14
install on a separate partition.
