Hi all,
the last dependency scan on a not empty tree showed a nasty depdency
problem. graphics/xpm does not picked up as dependency depending on
whether xorg-libs is already installed or not. This is bad and should be
fixed.

The best approach is possibly to handle the X11_TYPE=xorg explicit in
builtin.mk and depend on xorg-libs in that case, but it will also change
a number of dependencies. The other possible approach is to factor out
xpm from Xorg.

What do you think?
