Comment (by lcvisser):

 Replying to [comment:25 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.

 I'd be interested in looking into the `vala` dependency, but don't expect
 such lightning-fast progress as you made the last 2 days! I'm not so
 familiar (yet) with the macports internals.
