45 In dependency calculations, pull in build time dependencies
46 that are not strictly required. This defaults to ´n´ for
47 installation actions, meaning they will not be installed, and
48 ´y´ for the --depclean action, meaning they will not be
49 removed. This setting can be added to EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS
50 (see make.conf(5)) and later overridden via the command line.
