i knew as soon as i send the message that people would take "it" for 
"html2ps" instead of "teTex" ... i should have explicitly used the word
"teTex" instead of "it" as in...

  ...i noticed that teTex "lib-depends" on libwww... now why would 
  teTex need (to care about) libwww?


i am perfectly okay if html2ps depends on the libwww and it does 
"BUILD_DEPENDS" on p5-libwww. so my beef is w/ teTex needing libwww
not w/ html2ps needing it.

 so, do you like word games or scrabble?
