        graphics/sodipodi lists frontline as a build and run dependency
	
	As it came out, frontline is neither needed to build sodipodi,
	nor to run it.
	
	Frontline in current ports lists gnome1 as a dependency. I have
	gnome2 installed and I still think I don't really need all these
	extra features (commonly called "bloat") it provides. I think,
	that having one version of gnome libraries on a machine is really
	enough.
	
	I strongly suggest removing frontline from sodipodi's makefile - at
	least until frontline will learn to use gnome2. Frontline also is
	not needed to build sodipodi, nor to run sodipodi, so including
	it in DEPENDS such way seems wrong.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	
>Fix:

1) grep -v frontline graphics/sodipodi/Makefile

2) add pkg-message information about frontline - what it provides and 
   why it is important addition to sodipodi
