 Although gconf is not necessary to build openconnect (it is necessary if
 you want to support network-manager in gnome) is is included in the
 dependencies.

 This causes a lot of gnome libraries to be brought in unnecessarily which
 for many users in unneeded. I confirmed that if you remove it from the
 port file openconnect still works fine.

 From the web page(http://www.infradead.org/openconnect/):

 "For building the NetworkManager support, you will also need:
 GTK
 GConf"

 Could this be put in a variant (if network-manager is even possible in
 macports) or removed?

 Thanks for this port!
