More and more ports are coming with (optional) GNOME support.. Things like this should be tied into Jeremy's optional dependency work though. Before we do anything, however, a sweep through the ports tree looking for Makefile knobs and standardizing them should really be done (ie: some ports use NOGNOME, others WITH_GNOME, some USE_GNOME, and that's just the GNOMEish ports). There are two approaches to this.. either all knobs turn extra features on (USE_X11, USE_GTK, USE_GNOME, USE_KDE etc..), or we start with everything on, and have knobs to turn bits off (NO_X11, NO_GNOME etc..) I have no real preference either way, but I do know we need one or the other and the longer we shy away from it, the harder the job will be. -aDe -- Ade Lovett, Austin, TX.
