However, there was a 'stealth dependency' on XFree86 version 3, which few people seem to still be using. A recent fix to bsd.port.mk was supposed to fix this dependency. However, I am now beginning to think that my removal of devel/imake was a mistake and should be backed out. I suppose it depends on how many people really are still using XFree86 version 3. At this point this needs to be a portmgr@ call as to whether we try to continue to try to fix this in bsd.port.mk, or simply reinstate devel/imake until whatever time we remove version 3. mcl
