Which was work. Now I have to undef it _and_ keep it in a workable state for both old and new installations.

This because then the port would have to have dependancies to each library it merely contains headers for. (which is about three dozen or more). I think I'll have to update the compiler to parse pkgconfig files. However I hesitate, since that makes the whole system a lot less transparent for the user.
