>Description:
The ImageMagick port, as called as a dependancy of Mediawiki and other WWW ports, builds the X11 version of ImageMagick.  This means that if you try to build Mediawiki on a webserver with ImageMagick support, it wants to build X11, most of Gnome, and many other unnecessary desktop utilities.

The workaround is to build without imagemagick support, which means that mediawiki then does not support storing images, which sucks.
>How-To-Repeat:
usr/ports/www/mediawiki/make config

check "ImageMagick" support

usr/ports/www/mediawiki/make install

watch the entire universe get built
>Fix:
dependancy should be for imagemagick-nox
