I don't like the way dependencies currently work. 

I want to build ghostview but it depends on ghostscript so when I try
and compile it it first goes off to get ghostscript and builds that,
but I've already got ghostscript installed!

Can't the dependencies use pkg_* in some way to see if the package already
exists before trying to rebuild it again?
