Bugzilla Bug 211456

gpsd ebuild has app-text/xmlto in the RDEPEND, but in fact it's only a *build*
time depend.  This drags in a *HUGE* amount of unnecessary junk when building
(say) for an embedded system in a chroot

In fact it's an *optional* build time dependency because the man pages are
already compiled and distributed as part of the download - xmlto can be used to
freshen them (but does this really gain anything?).  So in fact perhaps this
should drop from DEPEND altogether and just become an ewarn (whatever the
syntax would be for that?)

I've updated 2.34 and 2.36 (but only 2.36 updates are in the tree at the
moment) with some fixes and wrapped it in the "minimal" USE flag.  The latter
also disables X in 2.36, but not 2.34; please test one or both (the latter is
attached to this bug) and let me know if these changes meet your install
requirements.

The ncurses stuff is even more of a pain to disable than XSLT, so if you
actually have a box with such a minimal install I'd love some test results;
that said, if I have any time soon I'll setup a 32-bit chroot and do some
testing.  Most other USE flags are still functional even with "minimal"
enabled, so be sure and select only what you need and let me know how that
works for you.

Updated version of current stable ebuild

Try both versions if you can; you should be able to sync within an hour or two
and see the new one...

the xmlto-dep has been removed with 2.34 and above, it was just forgotten to
close this bug.
