pidgin-sipe-1.11.2_3

>Description:
	By default, pidgin-sipe uses pkg-config to include the first of
	"nss" (security/nss), "mozilla-nss" (www/libxul) or "microb-engine-nss"
	(not a FreeBSD port AFAIK) to provide NSS functionality.  None of
	these are listed as dependencies.

	By default, net-im/libpurple and net-im/pidgin both include a
	dependency on security/nss (via a config option) and this will
	be inherited by pidgin-sipe.  If this dependency is disabled but
	either security/nss or www/libxul are installed for other reasons,
	pidgin-sipe will have an unlisted dependency on that package.

	Note that if libxul-1.9.2.17_1 is installed without security/nss
	being installed, pidgin-sipe will fail to build because mozilla-nss
	is currently broken (see ports/160351).

	It's possible there are other undocumented implicit dependencies,
	I only noticed this one due to the mozilla-nss breakage.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Build and install net-im/libpurple and net-im/pidgin with NSS disabled.
	Build and install security/nss
	Build and install pidgin-sipe

	pkg_info -r pidgin-sipe-1.11.2_3 | grep nss
	pkg_info -R nss-\* | grep pidgin
	show no dependency is recorded.

	ldd /usr/local/lib/purple-2/libsipe.so | grep nss
	shows pidgin-sipe depends on files in security/nss

>Fix:
	The NSS dependency in pidgin-sipe cannot be disabled via a
	configure knob so pidgin-sipe should probably have a LIB_DEPENDS
	on security/nss.
