Yop but the way tazwok handle that is perfectible. Your removed some
BUILD_DEPENDS because tazwok autoinstall development packages of DEPENDS
but this is not a wanted behavor. If we have 2 variable from the begin
of project ther is a reason: some need a dep to build but not to run or
inverse.
Look for example to slitaz-tools build, tazwok install 11 packages to
build a package that dont even use make... and are only copied files.

And one thing... you mention Arch a lot. First you could never do in
arch what you do in slitaz, in arch each pkg have a owner and you must
wait on him to upgrade/fix or create your own. Second they have
build_depends and last: I'ts not my ref and was not my ref when think
and creating slitaz. Look to FreeBSD pkgsrc, look to the clean
organization and standardization they have. IMHO BSD should be use
as reference.
