Epiphany is listed in the GNOME module and Galeon is listed in the  
fifth-toe. The powertools has epiphany-extensions that is just a 'plugins'  
for Epiphany, so it depends on Epiphany. Before, you ask why not set them  
as optional and we will disagree because it's what they are supposed to  
be, so create your own meta-port or install stuff what you want.
