Yes, but now knowing the software internals in details and also
knowing why the developers removed the specific libraries.  In this
case, if somebody is really interested in reasons of removed libs,
it's better to contact the gauche-sdl guys and ask them directly,
perhaps ports maintainer knows it already.

But at first, I would ask them why they reroll tarballs and include
tremendous changes, without bumping release version.

And also do not forget the principle I've heard more times at
FreeBSD regarding to ports: "If it builds, ship it".
