Well, splitting out http occurred to me, but personally I don't have a problem with installing expat (I'd need it eventually anyway) and I figured anyone who did have a problem would say something. ;-) The reason for this patch is that the RPM currently fails to build without expat-dev. The reason for wanting to split out gitk is that, for a machine where I will never run gitk, I think the following dependency list is ludicrous: fontconfig freetype tcl tk xorg-x11-Mesa-libGL xorg-x11-libs
