portmaster is not always recursive

Portmaster doesn't use the INDEX file at all, so all bets are off at
this point. However ...

So let's look at php5-mcrypt:

make all-depends-list
/usr/ports/lang/php5
/usr/ports/devel/autoconf262
/usr/ports/security/libmcrypt
/usr/ports/devel/libltdl22
/usr/ports/devel/pkg-config
/usr/ports/textproc/libxml2
/usr/ports/lang/perl5.8
/usr/ports/devel/m4
/usr/ports/misc/help2man
/usr/ports/devel/gmake
/usr/ports/devel/autoconf-wrapper
/usr/ports/devel/libtool22
/usr/ports/converters/libiconv

I have no idea how pkg_tree creates its list of dependencies, but
according to the method that portmaster uses apache is not a dependency.


hth,
