That led me to do a quick grep of the tree, which seems to indicate that there are a non-zero number of uses of it which seem to be erroneous: http://people.freebsd.org/~dougb/x11base-ports.txt Note, some of these are actually Ok, I haven't made an attempt to filter them out yet. Is there any interest in cleaning these up? Should we restore the definition of X11BASE until all of the ports that are using it are fixed? I'm kind of surprised by this problem, since the usual way of removing something like this is to make sure all of the consumers have been fixed first.
