I actually don't have doc or xsl USE explicitly enabled. depclean wants to remove libxslt, so I'm doing that. It's confusing because 'equery depends libxslt' says php and glib depend on libxslt. I guess that's the buildtime dependency you're talking about? Does that mean the package only needs to be installed while php and glib and being compiled, and can then be removed? - Grant
