#20806: yelp should not depend on lzmautils

Comment(by devans@…):
After looking a bit, yelp doesn't compress anything with lzma but can
transparently convert files of mime-type
application/x-lzma that are lzma compressed info and man files to the yelp
html format. A search of /opt/local
doesn't show any (and I have the full gnome set of packages installed) so
it looks like it is safe to remove.
Note however that this in one of those instances of opportunistic linking
-- yelp will use liblzmadec if it
finds it and will disable lzma support if it doesn't but has no configure
option to unconditionally turn it off.
The usual practice in this case has been to include the dependency to
ensure that everyone's build works the same.
