I though of that but I'm not sure about it. I wish to have a systme profile as |
| 4 |
cleaner as possible and libiconv, gettext and other packages aren't needed |
| 5 |
for a lot of different packages because they doesn't use them. |

When I fist needed to install libiconv in the Gentoo/FreeBSD I was tinkering |
| 7 |
with, was just because I needed it ot have glib2 working for irssi.. I was |
| 8 |
already using that box as ftp and mail server. |

So I much prefer having them just when needed and not "because it's possible |
| 10 |
that someone uses them", else it will be exactly as they were in the libc |
| 11 |
(one of the key strengths of *BSD is the fact that the libc is minimal and |
| 12 |
this makes the things simpler to maintain). |
