gtk2 doesn't need gzip in depends_build

Description

Not sure why gtk2 now needs gzip to build (r27705). The gtk2 Portfile has use_bzip2 set, and it builds fine on my Intel Mac without gzip.

The gzip port was listed as an undeclared dependency during the destroot phase when I built gtk2 with trace mode on.

Why don't you set the dependency with bin:gzip:gzip. Works well with Apple-provided gzip, doesn't it?

A lot of ports out there use chmod during the build stage.

Do we need to say they depends on coreutils? I don't think so.

The same thing is true with perl5.8. Why should I bother to install a new perl interpreter when it just works with the Apple one and that it must be used just for sedding something in the build process? Trace mode should be used carefully.

changeset:28323 removes all build dependencies except pkgconfig

My understanding was that we should be using our tool chain where/when possible.
