 It is best solution, of course. But what do I think: no pkgng could track,
which shared librearties are REALLY used, maybe, we could add some intelelct
to USE_GCC infrastructure to register runtime dependency (Ok, to full gcc
package till we have subpackages) ONLY if one if ut libraries are REALLY
used? As I've showed in previous message, package which surprises me, has
FAKE gcc dependency!
