Hi!

When I tried installing ghostscript on my server (not using X) the deps told me
it needed X. I check the ebuild file and didn't see any trace of --with-x when
configuring ghostscript. So I decided to remove the dep and try emerge the
package. It worked!

Maybe the virtual/X11 dep should be a ?virtual/X11 dep instead (and add --with-x
when running configure). Many server may have cups installed for sharing the
printer but don't want X.

/Mario
