make pacman show source of conflict per default?

Hi

Scenario:
-git packages for the free radeon driver are installed with mesa-git and everything.
Then fglrx is installed and therefore you have to pacman -Rd libgl-git.

Next pacman -Syu you try will get this output:

chris@chrispc ~ % LC_ALL=C sudo pacman -Su
:: Starting full system upgrade...
resolving dependencies...
looking for inter-conflicts...
:: libgl-git conflicts with catalyst-test. Remove catalyst-test? [Y/n]

I have in mind which package causes it: It's mesa-git that depends on libgl-git. But someone may forgot it or maybe has ati-dri-git, dri2proto-git, glproto-git, libdrm-git, mesa-git, xf86-video-ati-git installed and doesn't want to research which package the depend originates from.

I would suggest some output like

:: libgl-git (dependency of mesa-git) conflicts with catalyst-test. Remove catalyst-test? [Y/n]
