Re: pkgsrc/devel/py-gi-docgen - graphviz side effect

Hi!

I haven't read pkgrrxx output before, and I suspect many others
haven't either - so can you please explain along which path the x11
dependency comes from?

In other news, you can turn off the doc option for librsvg now to
avoid the dependency there.
