I can build it, sure .. but it=92s the dependencies I=92m trying to get =
fixed up. If I can=92t tell the ports tree that a WANT_PHP_WEB port =
should require mod_php5, then when I go to install the package that gets =
built for that port it=92s not going to have the requirement in its meta =
data, and mod_php5 won=92t be installed as a result.
Yes, I can then also go manually install mod_php5, but that=92s not =
really the point of dependencies, is it?
