 I don't understand.  pkgsrc will build expat from pkgsrc if it's not in
 base.  Are you really complaining about a bug or is expat just something
 you think should always be in base?
 
 The only trouble I see with the current setup is that if we provide
 binary packages built with X11_TYPE=3Dnative, users will have to install
 xbase to get libexpat for stuff that need it.  Is the bug you're
 reporting?
