This is good. Thanks for going through all the trouble and trying to fix
this. I have a question however, regarding libltdl. Should we (the
maintainers) force a port into compiling/linking its own libltdl or
should we make the port use devel/libltdl? I had it happen several
times, that the libltdl/configure shipping with the software itself is
rather buggy, because it can't cope with the way configure gets called
in the FreeBSD ports (that is: configure 'CC=3Dgcc' 'PREFIX=3D/usr/local'
=2E..)
So should one try to use system tools wherever possible (including
auto{conf,make}/libtool/libltdl) or should one use the tools the
software itself provides? (that is, try to change as few things as
required)
