I don't think that this really matters for packages like GNOME (after all, if
you're installing GNOME then you probably also have autoconf/Perl,etc.
installed :), but this technique would be useful for critical system packages,
like those found in sys-*. However, "emerge" should be able to sort out the
build/runtime deps perfectly in either case -- as long as the DEPEND and
RDEPEND strings are set correctly.
Though I'll agree, it would be nice to have a Perl-free system (drobbins hides)
:P
