Comment (by ctreleaven):

 A binary package is available for libunistring so most people _won't_ get
 all the build deps.  The build deps are only used when the package is
 built (eg on our buildbots).  The binary package should include the
 documentation and therefore the build deps need not be installed.  If any
 of the build deps are being installed, it is either due to other packages
 or it's a bug we should fix.  The list I posted above are the only deps
 that should be installed if you are using the default binary distribution.

 And, as I tried to say, even if you build from source and _do_ get all the
 build deps, you don't have to keep them.  'port leaves' will help you find
 all the stuff that can be uninstalled after the a successful install.

 The binary packages for libunistring are at:

 http://packages.macports.org/libunistring/

 The current ones seem to be about 2.6MB so the docs really can't be adding
 that much bulk.
