For one: this dependency was never neccessary in the past.
Because in the past there was an expat port.
Shouldn't expat not just go into /usr/lib ?
It's part of Xorg and therefore it belong in /usr/X11R6/lib/.
And you are right about the fact that other ports depend on X being
present.
Like databases/odbc "==> gtk+-1.2.10p6 uses X11, but /usr/X11R6 not found."
A database connectivity driver that depends on a GUI toolkit.. sounds
fishy to me.
Complain to the odbc people for depending on gtk. This has nothing to do
with expat or OpenBSD.
I hope OpenBSD doesn't slowly go GNU/Linux in the spaghetti sense.
This is exactly what is avoided by not also having a standalone port of
expat.
