I want to provide a new port for german text-to-speech-system. And as a
dependency I need the NATIVE running audio/mbrola.

It is NOT desireable that if somebody want to install my port he got the
error message: compat3x-20020925.tar.gz is forbidden to install! Should
I tell EVERY guy on my help-mailinglist (and I promise you it will be
almost 90% of the e-mails) you have to hack the Makefile-entry manually
to install my port?

It is easier to install my convinient "misc/mbrola_compat-1.0" without
the forbidden tag. And I don't want to be blamed that I write a patch
which is changing foreign Makefiles of other maintainer!

With regards
Stevan Tiefert
