In PR ports/42074 the submitter was not very happy, that rsync depends
on popt and popt depends on gettext...

The included popt is as good as the devel/popt port. I totally agree
with the submitter of ports/42074, that in a server enviroment it is not
very confortable to install a lot of ports which are not _really_ needed.

I have sent the patch I have committed a few days ago to ports@ and
asked for a review resp. opinions about this change. The only reactions
I got where unexceptional *pro* this change.

Regards,
         Olli
