We use pkg-config where we can, which generally replaces libtool at a

archives sit in our depends tree with no purpose and pollute the final
bitcoin build with massive overlinking.
Some dependency sources were downloaded via http, even though https (SSL/TLS) options are available.
Even if we potentially check the integrity of the downloaded files via hash comparison, we should make
use of this additional security layer.

We may eventually want to break out harfbuzz and build it in depends, but
for now just ensure that runtime dependencies don't depend on whether or not
harfbuzz was present on the builder.
