I think I've found out what the problem was by looking through all
those, although the dependancy tree isn't all that easy to follow
(it's pretty hard to tell how far something is indented when they're
10+ lines apart). Looks like lib-compat had +sdl set (I presume this
is set by default because I've never enabled it) which seemed to be
bringing all sorts of rubbish along with it. Adding -sdl and -arts to
make.conf got rid of everything bar postgresql and lib-compat (which
is what I wanted), although I've no idea why all these extra packages
appeared in the first place.

Thanks for the help.

Paul
