OK, I've just gone through my package list and picked up 18 of my deps
that were orphaned.

Other orphaned deps of mine, that I will pick up in two days from now
unless somebody else does:

sqlite3
sdl
cairo
flac
libxml2
gd
gdk-pixbuf
libcap

The reason I haven't adopted these is because I'm thinking if there's
somebody with more experience packaging these, it'd be better off in
their hands.  Please adopt these if you know what you're doing with
them.  If not, I'll take that as a sign NOBODY knows what they're doing
with them (heh) and take them under my wing.
