I'm looking for someone who is willing to document the new capabilities by writing something for the handbook, ports(7), and the usage message in bsd.port.subdir.mk. I honestly tried to write something up, but failed to produce anything reasonable. If you want to give it a try, there's a few examples you could perhaps base the text(s) on in the ports' CHANGES file, see http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/CHANGES.diff?r1=1.18&r2=1.19 Thanks, Roman Neuhauser -- coffee-powered bug generator
