I don't know, never pay attention after over 20 times built AbiWord.
Depends on and use the ports tree is the right solution, IMO. :-)

What's your best suggest then? Force Enchant to compile with Aspell
support? This is the way that I will allow Enchant to be default. It
doesn't make any sense to have something that will not work by default. I
think, it's important to have the default that is just work.

I think, we shouldn't pay attention to the space as long we have the knob
option to disable the Help docs install. It won't make any difference for
Makefile w/ knob option vs seperate port. However, the size is about 877
KB (of tacos ;-).
