>From the pkgsrc guide, 13.1:

`If a dependency on a particular package is required for its libraries
and headers, then we replace:

DEPENDS+=       foo>=1.1.0:../../category/foo

with

.include "../../category/foo/buildlink3.mk"`

This does not seem to agree with what you are saying, because this
implies that `.include "../../devel/zlib/buildlink3.mk` will add the
package as a dependency, which is what is in png`s Makefile.

The buildlink3.mk files usually define the required dependencies
