>Description:

        The Makefile of ports/editors/emacs20 contains the following
        interesting piece of code:

		.if !defined(WITHOUT_X11)
		CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-x-toolkit --with-pop
		USE_XLIB=       yes
		.else
		CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-x=no --with-pop
		.endif

        Watch how the double negative in that .if might cause someone
        wonder "What? Do I have to `set' or `unset' the WITHOUT_X11
        variable to compile this without X support?  Which one is it?"

>How-To-Repeat:

	Heh. Read the Makefile ?

>Fix:

        I would prefer this being written with the double negative
        removed.  Something like:

		.if defined(WITHOUT_X11)
		CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-x=no --with-pop
		.else
		CONFIGURE_ARGS= --with-x-toolkit --with-pop
		USE_XLIB=       yes
		.endif

	Then again, this is a minor stylistic change :)
