I'm not sure if I'm understanding what you're getting at, but I'll try to give an explanation. If you take notice of the xchat Makefile, libungif isn't an explicit xchat dependency, but Imlib is. Imlib depends on libungif. Imlib also depends on libtool. I think what I'm trying to get at here is that xchat doesn't need to specifically depend on libtool because it's other dependencies would already have installed it. Just like it doesn't depend on glib, but it's needed. The gtk dependency sucks that in.
