The package depend tree will be indentical because the package alwasy
depends on ganglia-monitor-core which legitimatly depends on those
libraries.  Since all I care about in this case is that the libraries
exist sufficiently to satisty configure I'd rather not use the
signficantly inferior BUILD_DEPENDS mechanism which requires me to
hardcode LOCALBASE in the search path.

Now that I think of it, a better solution is probably to just delete
those parts of the configure script when building this package.
