# We either need to reconsider that, or something like:

# ports/mail/postfix+mysql

# ports/mail/postfix+mysql+ldap
# ports/mail/postfix+mysql+sasl

# ports/mail/postfix+mysql+ldap+sasl

If done properly these would all just be a directory and a
Makefile with all the work being done in the master port. The
biggest problem with the current scheme is inode consumption.
Aside from expecting a single port to build multiple packages,
are there other ways to reduce the inode consumption and stick
with the current OPOP paradigm?
