if a depend is missing, inxi outputs missing info into the main screen.

1) give warnings in user private channel (ie #trash80 )

2) give user a short hot-to install
    a) distrowatch page on most cli install methods
        i) [http://distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=20080922#feature
distrowatch]
    b) ie  from: "Resuming in non X mode: xdpyinfo not found in path"
             to: "xdpyinfo not found: apt-get install x11-utils" (for debian)
             or: "xdpyinfo not found: pacman -S xorg-utils"    (for arch)

This is added in 1.6.6, with the new --recommends.

The error has been updated to show:
"Resuming in non X mode: $app_name not found. For package install advice run: 
inxi --recommends"
