Quick question...
When building ports which have dependencies, is it normal
for those dependencies to be both built and installed?
Or is it normal for a dependency to only be installed if it's 
required for compilation?

Ex.
while building Postfix from 4.4 Stable
from /usr/ports/mail/postfix
% make
installed package libtool-1.3.4_2
installed package pcre-3.4
installed package openldap-1.2.11_2
built package postfix-20010228.5_1

it could have just been a fluke from the Postfix port, but I didn't
expect to have anything installed without invoking "make install"
