w3c-libwww depends on itself meaning that you cant even lin lunar if you
dont have w3c-libwww (as it lunar depends on it so it just goes round in
circles) installed.

i.e.

Checking dependencies for w3c-libwww 
mod_v="" mod="w3c-libwww"
Checking dependencies for w3c-libwww 
mod_v="" mod="w3c-libwww"
Checking dependencies for w3c-libwww 
mod_v="" mod="w3c-libwww"
Checking dependencies for w3c-libwww 
mod_v="" mod="w3c-libwww"
Checking dependencies for w3c-libwww

Steps to reproduce:

# lrm w3c-libwww
# lin lunar

Things Tried:

lunar fixdepends
lin moonbase
lsh create_module_index
lsh create_depends_cache
manualy installing lunar

Pseduo Fix:
I added a simple if statement in satisfy_depends() that makes sure the
depend module is not the module we are trying to install (mainly
because i fixed the depend in the depends cache being lazy and all but
then later there was another round robbin depend on some random module
and i think its just a good sanity check)

Looks like  a rather great sanity check .. would mean to get rid of
loopy dependencies .. wouldn't it?
