 A quick survey showed that - should you really insist that libraries
 should depend on build tools - you are actually missing a lot of them,
 the most prominent being security/openssl, other are devel/valgrind,
 devel/pcsc-lite, print/freetype2, graphics/png, www/neon, www/openvrml,
 x11/XFree86-4-libraries, x11-toolkits/qt33 and many more.
 
 Similarly security/clamav-devel now run-depends on pkgconfig, although
 I'm not aware of a single application using pkgconfig to link with
 libclamav (www/mod_clamav links with libclamav, but does so without
 using pkfconfig, and works fine without it being present at run time).
 
 You are right, I guess a lot of ports need to be fixed.
