Some of these are only used at build time (i.e. gmake depends on
gettext which depends on libiconv), and libgnugetop is a libary
depends when OSVERSION < 500041. Not sure where expat comes from.
The generation of the html page concatenates the RUN_DEPENDS,
BUILD_DEPENDS, LIB_DEPENDS,... when creating that entry.
