Which is it? If tcl is required, then the "tcl" USE flag is
misleading
and pointless, and should not show up.
BDEPEND indicates a build-time dependency on Tcl; I think SQLite3's
build
system has a hard dependency on Tcl. The "tcl" USE flag is likely
controlling whether or not the Tcl interface included with SQLite3 is
built and installed.
