This is exactly the type of statement that is almost guaranteed to de-motivate someone from trying to work on FreeBSD. It has become all too common in the past month.

If there is any easier way to do things, then let's test the patches that make that happen. I hope everyone can agree that anything we could do to simplify the build and QA cycle for this huge package would be a good idea. mcl
