I know, but the topic only seems to have flared up again on account of
it. :)

Yes, I see the problem.  No, I see no immediate solution that doesn't
have drawbacks of its own.  Yes, I hate this entire problem and would
just as soon say  "heck, just nuke TCL out of the base OS" if I had
a way of handling dist/ports dependencies currently in the tree.
The fact that I don't is why so many people are complaining that the
Handbook and FAQ have been left out of the doc dist since 2.2.2.
