x11-libs/fox-1.0.49 (current stable) is not modular X ready. 1.0.53 is ported,
bug unsupported upstream (see Bug 145046 Comment #18 and following) and is not
worth the stabilization hassle. So, I'd suggest removing fox-1.0.* and the
couple of ebuilds that depend on it:

dev-python/fxpy-1.0.5
dev-python/fxpy-1.0.5-r1
dev-ruby/fxruby-1.0.25
dev-ruby/fxruby-1.0.29-r1

dev-python/fxpy should be removed completely, 1.0.5 states
>=x11-libs/fox-1.0.17 but it plain won't compile w/ >=1.2 (the deps were fixed
in -r1). Nothing depends on this package, no upstream update since 2003.

dev-ruby/fxruby-1.2.2 is already stable, so 1.0.x is not needed any more
anyway.

Looks like mabi picked up fox stuff recently, re-assigning.

Well, there apparently may be others, because those two above specify
dependencies in a broken ("ranged") way, so won't ever get caught by pquery
(nor do those dependencies work as expected). Sigh.

dev-util/reswrap-1.0.4 needs to die as well...

@python - can you please mask/kill dev-python/fxpy?

dev-python/fxpy killed.
