Well, the configure script for mono-basic is not really
a "gnu" configure script.  bsd.port.mk tries to add certain
args if GNU_CONFIGURE=3Dyes.

It tries to use configure --help to see what args it should
add.  The configure script that is part of the mono-basic
distribution doesn't support --help and will whin like so:

Unknown argument --help

=2E.. and then actually continue on with the configure script.

You don't see this output since bsd.port.mk does
'configure --help 2>&1 | grep ...'
bsd.port.mk will try that a few times.


What you do see is this if you try to build
mono-basic with GNU_CONFIGURE=3Dyes:

Unknown argument --build=3Di386-portbld-freebsd7.2


So using GNU_CONFIGURE won't break anything
and will work get the port to obey PREFIX, but
it doesn't seem quite right.
I think HAS_CONFIGURE=3Dyes & CONFIGURE_ARGS+=3D--prefix=3D${PREFIX}
seems better.
