 While updating an OSX base developer install image for my company, I
 discovered that the most recent update of the {{{rabbitmq-server}}} port
 (1.8.1_0) has incorporated a ''ridiculous'' number of new dependencies (by
 virtue of {{{xmlto}}}, I think):

 {{{

 I don't know how to make {{{port}}} list rdeps for any version other than
 the most recent one, so I can't tell you what they were precisely before.
 But this is a ''tremendous'' increase in required libs/progs over
 {{{rabbitmq-server @1.8.1}}}, and for a minor {{{_0}}} increment on the
 base version, it's unclear what utility the increment provides vs. its
 cost.
