Is tcl an optional dependency for sqlite-3.6.21 or not? RDEPEND="icu? ( dev-libs/icu ) readline? ( sys-libs/readline ) tcl? ( dev-lang/tcl )" DEPEND="${RDEPEND} dev-lang/tcl doc? ( app-arch/unzip )"

What's the point of 'tcl' use-flag, then? You need to install tcl anyway! That's quite confusing...
