Since it is trivial to have a build/ruin depend on an OPTION (and you already do it via a gnob no more complexity it added by doing it as an OPTION)... Almost every time I have brought boost problems up the overwelming consenus among maintainers that relie on boost is two seperate ports is completely insane. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkgX2R4ACgkQk8GFzCrQm4AGEgCbBtFhlrP/TvWB6BLczKWpxA2k UzkAnill/mMrh2CgeNVfeRuFuKJ6sv3n =TCL6 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
