gapi2-parser and other gapi2-* tools shipping with gtk-sharp depend on dev-perl/XML-LibXML to function. As other foo-sharp packages use these gapi tools to auto-generate the Mono bindings, the necessary CPAN classes should be installed.
The 1.0.x gtk-sharp ebuilds definitely were missing the dep, and I've just added those. The gapi2-parser in 2.x was rewritten in C# though, and the dep is no longer valid, afaict. Marking this FIXED, please feel free to re-open if you find this not to be the case.
I don't think you're completely right... The main tools are written in C# indeed, but they do call some Perl scripts: ~ $ emerge -pv gtk-sharp These are the packages that I would merge, in order: Calculating dependencies ...done!

Indeed you are. Sorry for missing that. Commited the changes to the 2.x gtk-sharp ebuilds as well. Thanks yet again. Marking FIXED.
