This patch (hopefully :-) ) makes xpm support optional.

Created attachment 93874 [details, diff] rxvt-unicode-7.9.ebuild.diff Better patch ($myconf was overwritten before).
Created attachment 101576 [details, diff] rxvt-unicode-8.0.ebuild.diff updated for version 8.0 (quite trivial :-) )
Still needed?
Would be great, yes.
XPM support is gone in version 8.4, so the dependency can be removed completely.
This has been solved in the ebuild for version 8.8. Thanks!
