>Description:
Xfig-3.2.2 compiles fine, but for some reason the -DGSBIT flag is
not set in the makefile DEFINES (even if you have Ghostscript 
installed).  This means that encapsulated postscript picture objects 
created in xfig are not displayed.
>How-To-Repeat:
cd /usr/ports/graphics/xfig; make install
run xfig
Create a picture object of an eps file
- The eps picture is not displayed in xfig (a warning about not being
  able to convert the file pops up).
>Fix:
cd /usr/ports/graphics/xfig; make configure
cd work/xfig.3.2.2
In the Makefile, add -DGSBIT to the line beginning with "^DEFINES =".
cd ../..
make install
