I think this should go into the Porters Handbook as well as mention of it in bsd.port.mk in the comment section detailing the many other meta-variables. Can you explain why this is silently handled as opposed to throwing some sort of warning at the user? I still don't understand why the shared libraries are touched in the first place. Otherwise, thank you again. I have been trying for about five weeks to find the solution.
