Hey Nicholas!

Not that I know for sure about gentoo, there are dependencies that can be 
dropped without any harm to the total end result.  Case in point is the 
addition of python3 and a couple of it's offshoots to a basic LFS build.  Those 
can be safely skipped over but I get the impression that it might cause some 
grief later on if the more needy xorg and the ilk are of interest.

In my case 144 'packages' is all I will be using in the immediate future.  One 
of them is python2 which glib, and hence mc, require.  I could learn to live 
without mc and that would rid me of those two dependencies given nothing else 
absolutely needs them.

Life is good,
Maurice
