The reason for the long waits is the multiple "make" calls inside each of
the _PORT_USE macro users, like fetch, extract, &c.
I endlessly speeded up my tcl81 build (incorrectly) by putting the .include
between ".if target(generate-plist) || target(mlinks)"/".endif", but that's
not the correct way to do it (there're checks that decide whether to run
those targets which don't work properly).
I think the only way to really fix it is to cordon off all the make calls
to sed, awk, and other crunchers when you're not doing something that
actually needs that work to be done.
If you're really lucky, maybe you just need to work out where to put a
couple ".if target()"/".endif" pairs.
If nothing's been done on this in two weeks, I'll consider myself
volunteered. (National Arts Festival/Grahamstown Festival is on)
