talloc-2.1.1.ebuild.patch

All versions of sys-libs/talloc since 2.0.8-r1 include the line:

REQUIRED_USE="${PYTHON_REQUIRED_USE}"

even though python is included in IUSE and therefore optional.  This should presumably be corrected to:

REQUIRED_USE="python? ( ${PYTHON_REQUIRED_USE} )"

Patch attached to do exactly that.
Comment 1 Andrew Church 2014-08-19 20:11:29 UTC 
Apparently Python is required for the build so Python isn't truly optional.

This is a bit confusing if one has never encountered it before.  I'll open a new bug if I can see a way to improve it.
