Hmm, well, if you think they should be in there, then what about USE_[GNOME,KDE]LIBS? automake is only used by a very small number of ports, although autoconf is used by a slightly larger number, it's still used by only the vast minority. If I'm not mistaken, there are now at least 70+ KDE-based and maybe 100+ GNOME-based ports in the tree. I just don't see the need for bloating bsd.port.mk with rarely-needed variables. -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
