That works when ports are being install interactively. However, when
doing package building, we don't have that luxury. We could mark a port
BROKEN if gstreamer-plugins was built without MAD support (the default),
but that would mean we couldn't package it.
Splitting the port into multiple ports would give us the ability to
package any port. An obvious example of this is the upcoming
gnomemedia2 which will require CD Paranoia support in gst.
The major disadvantage to this approach is the overwhelming
administrative burden it adds. It's a pain to test [py-]libxml2 and
[py-]libxslt. I can't imagine what a gstreamer-plugins update will do.=20
For that reason, it might be nice to still have the ability to
test-build all plug-ins in a monolithic way.
