Just to sound a note of clarity here, xmms does not require unzip to _build_. It's only required if you want to use skins. So, in any case, it would be a run-time dependency, if any at all... Frankly, unzip is pretty small, so I can't imagine why it shouldn't be just added to the RUN_DEPENDS, but if that's not the concensus, maybe a message could be printed at the end of the build warning that unzip is necessary if you want to use skins?
