This is my impression too.

It does show:

        /usr/X11R6/lib/libfontconfig.1.dylib (compatibility version  
1.0.0, current version 1.0.0)
        /usr/X11R6/lib/libexpat.0.dylib (compatibility version  
0.4.0, current version 0.4.0)
        /usr/X11R6/lib/libfreetype.6.dylib (compatibility version  
6.3.0, current version 6.3.0)

I was (I still am?) hoping that a statically linked library would  
satisfy these dependencies too.
