I see it builds against headers for various libraries in BUILD_DEPENDS
but dlopen()'s them at runtime and no run dependency information is
recorded in the package, therefore there's no way to get this
automatically updated if there are API changes in those libraries,
short of somebody monitoring about a dozen ports for changes and
manually bumping REVISION where needed. This doesn't seem a great
approach for ports.
