Hi Stephen,

All of this rather assumes that *everything* is installed from ports.
1) install portXXX which requires SDL, so SDL gets sucked in

installed - common) manually and install it
If thingYYY detects SDL and uses it at configure stage, it should be
recorded in the dependency list. I suppose this is up to the
maintainer to deal with this as whether the aforementioned feature
exists or not, nothing would prevent the user from deinstalling SDL
and break thingYYY otherwise.
Hrm? In step 2, "manually" meant "Not using ports"
That is to say that I downloaded it from Sourceforge myself, extracted
it myself, built and installed it myself.
I do this fairly often.
