 Also this doesn't turn up anything interesting:

  find /opt/local/var/macports/software/R/2.8.0_0+gcc43/opt/local -name
 '*bin*' -exec otool -L {} \;

 even though configure reports:

 So where is R actually linking/using these libs?  I'd like to test that I
 can safely update the xrender dependency to lib:..., but I don't see how
 to even test that it's using or linking against libXrender...

 How were these dependencies determined?
