Indeed I see this 'shortcut' being used all over the place. But in the
cases I have looked into the last few days, i.e. the xorg-7.5.1 and
kde-lite-3.5.10_8 ports, the problem is just a trivial, but slightly
different. It appears that in many occasions USE_PYTHON and USE_PERL
are specified in situations where I think USE_PYTHON_BUILD and
USE_PERL_BUILD, respectively, would suffice.
By making a few trivial changes i can make xorg-7.5.1 fully
independent on run-time of Python, Perl and Bison. The same can be
done for kde-lite-3.5.10_8 when I also disable the Perl support in
net-snmp, which is a dependency of kdeutils-3.5.10_8.
If anybody is interested I could consolidate my results and post a few patches.
Anything that makes ports more accurate is good. Please post, and the
maintainers of those ports would likely be interested also.
