since they always need a C compiler, even when the source code is
completely in C++.
For some other packages, stated in the comment that a C compiler is
really not needed.
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.

fastdep is a fast dependency generator for C/C++ files. It generates a
file ready to be parsed by the make(1) utility containing dependancy
specifications for all source files given to it.
The program is written in C++ with a handoptimized parser for just the
preproccesor tokens; therefore it is faster than GCC because it does
just one thing.
