Ahh, but it *does* matter. Xpm is included in 4. You have to use graphics/xpm
port with 3. This means packages like emacs, kde, etc, if installed on top of
XF86-4, will trash the Xpm headers and libraries (quietly).

There may be other cases, but I just fscked by this one.

I think we need a way of selectively installing things at pkg_add time. Urk.
