And even though ignoring Y prevents you from seeing the whole picture, 
redundancy analysis of X can help you do data reduction in an unbiased 
way to build reliable models.  The transcan and varclus functions in the 
Hmisc package help in this way.  transcan will show you the maximum R^2 
that can be obtained in predicting each predictor from all others, using 
a spline generalized additive model.  varclus draws a variable 
clustering dendogram.
