Comment (by Dave-Allured):
`groff` is used by other ports. Changing `openldap` did not make `groff`
go away, so the load for `wget` did not get any lighter!
This `openldap` experience suggests that man page builders may be an easy
target for more dependency reduction. I think I will next look at `xorg-
libXaw`, and see why it wants `groff`. I also wonder whether libproxy ->
vala could be lightened.
@lcvisser would you like to pick up on any of these?
