Similar problem as with Tuan's version: It's intransparent to the user and he 
has no choice, unless he looks into the ebuild.  || ( foo bar ) is only an 
option, if you have two packages providing the same functionality, but a 
virtual is not in order. On the other hand, if the scm support is not a core 
functionality of the application, I'd refrain from adding these optional 
runtime dependencies and simply add a post install message instead.
