Actually, I think, it was always possible due to how its contents was parsed with grep in bsd.port.mk. It is the ability to add templates, that is a fairly recent (3 years?) feature. It then took me several years of on-and-off "flame wars" to shatter the surprisingly deep seated (and wrong) perception, that package-dependencies will break if the shlib number are omitted. Many maintainers still would not omit them causing a lot of gratuitious upgrades. Probably, because the examples in the handbook don't show it. But the gnome-meisters should know better... -mi
