Thanks for creating the port. After looking at it - libxml is no longer
required. We did away with that dependency a long time ago.

If you enable python I recommend you also add py-pymysql as a
dependency. Without this then the MySQL database option won't work
properly. py-pymysql is a relatively new port, but if it isn't available
it shouldn't stop the build. This is just a runtime dependency. Without
it the bot will run, the MySL database option just won't do anything.
The same holds true for py-pygresql (which allows Postgres as a database
backend).

Thanks for your work.
