>Description:
The configure script for kdelibs3 relies on another package, devel/pkg-config, to detect the presence of graphics/openexr.
If pkg-config is not installed, the result is a warning early
in the build process, but no failure until installation/package
time, after a few nice hours of building.

The generated html page for kdelibs3 /shows/ a dependency on
pkg-config, but that apparently came from transitive closure
through some other dependency. That is not sufficient, as the
dependency could have been bin-installed without pulling in
pkg-config.  Since kdelibs3 itself relies on pkg-config,
kdelibs3 itself must declare the dependency.
>How-To-Repeat:
make bin-install in x11/kdelibs3 when all of its dependencies are
either already installed or available as binary packages but
kdelibs3 isn't, and pkg-config is not installed. Do not do this
unless you enjoy wasting time.
