At first I wasn't completely clear what you had in mind here (or 
rather: why exactly), and I did not get a single report from a 
user in the 15 months since then.

On the other hand, we can always improve things and what I understand
you aimed for seems more consistent with how we generally do things.


What do you think about the patch below?

Only problem is, portlint now warns

  WARN: g++: this is a symlink. Please remove it.
  WARN: gcc: this is a symlink. Please remove it.
  WARN: gfortran: this is a symlink. Please remove it.

which I did not do when I've been using absolute paths.
