Well please do that then.  Your adding DEPENDS for the ports that
required only headers was a huge mistake though, I was wondering why
in hell it was recompiling tcl and tk when I was building expect.

My hack is a real waste of space (although much less of a waste of
time) because it still extracts the whole tcl/tk.  I suggest you
make them extract only the required headers only in the current port's 
work/ directory.  That way it won't require extra megabytes and will
also disappear at at "make clean" in the current port.
