 beanstalkd declares a library dependency on gmake:

 {{{
 $ port deps beanstalkd
 Full Name: beanstalkd @1.4.6_2
 Library Dependencies: libevent1, gmake
 }}}

 It looks like this was added in r33535 to fix build issues on Tiger;
 presumably its included version of gmake is too old.

 Since MacPorts still works on Tiger we should retain this dependency.
 However, gmake is a program typically used to ''build'' other programs.
 It is not a library and is not typically used at runtime.
 So it should be a build dependency, not a library dependency.
