Is there a way to register a dependancy for building a port, but
not for the binary package?

for example, I've got a port of gcc for the 6811, the port
requires bison to build, but once the package is done, bison
is not required.  If I add ``EXEC_DEPENDS=   bison:${PORTSDIR}/devel/bison''
to the Makefile, `make package', and then pkg_add the package, pkg_add
checks the dependancies, which it really doesn't need to do.

maybe a BUILD_DEPENDS macro is needed.

eric.
