No Google page rank-alike?

I did a quick popularity count by wget'ting the whole thing, and
looking for hrefs under cgi-bin/packages/archive¹.  Not exact, as it
counts links to the previous version, but a rough approximation.  Page
rank would be better, as it would ascribe higher importance to a library
that is required by a more popular library.

Anyway, quick and inaccurate results:
