FWIW the solution I used when changing my non-leaf ports was to delete pkgconf, then look at every port that depends on them and test if they passed 'make configure' without any changes. Since so many things depend on gnutls it may be safer to just add the dependency with a comment in the Makefile to maintainers to remove it if it turns out not to be necessary. <insert obligatory rant about how this whole thing has been poorly handled> Doug -- I am only one, but I am one.
