My commit was correct.  It restored the original intended behavior
of boehm-gc, which had been lost inadvertantly when somebody
upgraded the port to a newer version.  Unfortunately, in the
meantime the w3m and w3m-ssl ports were created in such a way that
they relied on the misconfiguration of boehm-gc.
