Hi

This is mainly to Satoshi, et al.

Is there any way to provide a mechanism such that a port may conditionally
move on to making another port after it is finished?  Something like a
POST_DEPENDS item that'll generally be built up due to WITH_CONTRIB, &c.
variables.

This would allow ports, like for example qmail, to offer a menu (using
my pdlg mechanism, or another) of options for addons that might be
useful - like qmailcontrib, qmailanalog, ezmlm, &c.

I'm not sure whether this is the way things should go, but I was just
wondering what people think.

Neil
