 The package has no "options.mk", so I presume all the dependencies I
 found are hard requirements of the package.
 
 I don't find any reference to "readline" "ffcall" or "segv" in any file
 under ${WRKSRC} after 'make configure', yet the "xindy.run" binary
 installed claims those dependencies via 'ldd' output and the package
 "REQUIRES" lists the relevant libraries.
 
 It uses a buildlink3 inclusion for "clisp" claiming a build dependency
 only.  This is what pulls in "libffcall" and "libsigsegv" (and "readline"
 if not already built as a dependency of something else).  Likewise,
 "libffcall" and "libsigsegv" both claim to be required by only "clisp".
 
 I have not actually tried updating a host from binary packages yet, but
 expect to do so soon to confirm the status of the package.
