I tried to install BMPx from SVN, but had problems with the ./autogen.sh, which runs automake and autopoint. Obviously autopoint requires CVS, but when I installed it, cvs was never a dependency of it.

# The requirement that the user must have the CVS program available is not
# a severe restrictions, because most of the people who use autopoint are
# users of CVS.
#
# Check availability of the CVS program.
(cvs -v) >/dev/null 2>/dev/null || func_fatal_error "cvs program not found"

Don't know if it needs to be a dependency, just wanted to point the problem out!

If you are creating your own ebuild, it's your task to take care of dependencies.
