    devel/subversion requires sqlite by default, so I did an initial
look at busting this build dependency a few weeks ago. There are some
tcl modules used by sqlite so that isn't available in all cases, but
it can be broken down when they're not compiled. If someone points me
to the tcl script that breaks this assumption, I'll gladly whip up an
awk, sed, or bourne shell script solution to remove this nasty
dependency.
