 So libepoxy installed on its own without any xorg dependencies, but simp2
 still tried to pull in xorg libraries via mesa.  The real culprit is mesa,
 it seems, and I'm not sure why the dependency hierarchy showed libepoxy <-
 mesa <- xorg-* unless I did not interpret it correctly.  In any case, I
 simply can't install gimp2 without triggering several xorg libraries.  At
 least it's not the whole xorg display server, so I can live with it, but
 something's not right with gimp2's dependency on mesa in native (i.e.
 +quartz +no_x11) mode.
