I don't think that's quite true - they're required if you use those formats, yes, but not otherwise. Apart from Perl, I don't believe any of those dependencies are mandatory if you have an architecture supported by the default-packaged mysqld (I've not checked the actual ebuild, just the list in the above quote, however). There would be the few Perl packages that "build-perl-modules.pl" builds, though. I think there are USE flags for much of those formats (and mysql) that should be used to control what dependencies the package would have (controlled through the IUSE mechanism of the ebuild, I believe). I'm not criticising the ebuild, but just trying to make suggestions to make it more applicable to more people. I've often wished there were a SS ebuild in Portage, but not been bothered to do anything about it myself.
