 I'm not sure what posessed people to do this sort of thing, but it is
 really not necessary to use "+=" in port Makefiles except for very
 special cases (the same variable defined in two places, the second one 
 being conditional to some variable, or the port Makefile is included
 from something else).
 
 Remember, bsd.port.mk is included at the end of the Makefile, so there 
 is no use for "+=" if you are worried about overwriting something set
 in bsd.port.mk.  (In fact, bsd.port.mk worries about this for you, by
 setting many variables using "+=" or "?=".)
