FWIW, it shouldn't require them for that.  It'd either be a hard 
dependency, pulled in when pan is installed, or not required, as pan's 
decoding is built-in.  (I haven't looked in awhile, but IIRC it includes 
its own slightly modified copy of IDR which decode library in the 
sources, statically linked.  That's a bit of a no-no as apps are supposed 
to use the system lib for ease of maintenance and security update 
purposes, but the pan-bundled copy is modified for pan's own use, so it 
had to be included.  All the other libs pan depends on are system libs, 
tho, including the ones used to actually display the images.)
