I tried to build a couple of the ports in the /usr/ports/x11 tree
today and noticed a strange thing that doesn't seem right.

When I built tvtwm, it said it depended on /usr/ports/graphics/xpm,
which it then went out and built, installed, and registered.  As I'm
low on diskspace, after the build, I went over and did a make clean in
/usr/ports/graphics/xpm.  Then I built xfm, which also requires xpm,
but instead of checking to see if the package is listed in
/var/db/pkg, or in /usr/X11R6/lib, it looked back in
/usr/ports/graphics/xpm, saw that it wasn't built, and built it
*again*

Is this the correct behavior?  I haven't tried any of the other x11
tree to see what happens yet.

Cheers,
-Wes
