This is an EMBOSS update:

(i)  emboss                                       6.3.1-101                     
    Molecular Biology Open Software Suite

on:

Darwin 10.4.0 Darwin Kernel Version 10.4.0: Fri Apr 23 18:28:53 PDT 2010; 
root:xnu-1504.7.4~1/RELEASE_I386 i386 i386

Question: when (or more importantly, why) did EMBOSS suddenly require the 
installation of (all of) 263 dependencies, including what appears to be all of 
GNOME?

Thanks in advance for insight into this.

Scott
