Why do I have to specify -DNOCLEANDEPENDS when doing a 'make clean' in
/usr/ports? Why would anyone want to clean dependencies when cleaning the entire
ports tree? Isn't that kinda redundant? 

I can already hear the response..."Send a patch...". Have you actually looked at
the makefiles? I have a better chance of decphering the Iliad written in
cuneiform.
