Summary:                    get_prerequisites() on linux recursive behavior
Description: 
ldd on Linux is always recursive so the recursive flag in
get_prerequisites() function isn't honored.

to get direct dependencies only, one can do 
"objdump -x  some_binary | grep NEEDED"

get_prerequisites can run much faster if only makes one call to ldd to get
recursive dependencies.  Also, one call to ldd would be better if
some_binary had rpaths in it but dependencies didn't.

Anyway, I noticed this when I wanted BundleUtilties to go faster.
