For the sake of others reading, it's not as simple as that. DEPENDS is for 
build-time dependencies, RDEPENDS is for runtime dependencies; if tcl is 
needed both at build time and at runtime, and the runtime dependency isn't a 
shared library dependency, it would be valid to have both in the recipe. It 
depends on the situation.

Cheers,
Paul
