Is there any way to substitute dependencies, in cases where the substitute would work as well or better?
First case I think of is the misc/freebsd-doc-* ports which want links1, which would be redundant if I already have lynx installed, or lynx and seamonkey too. I don't really like links1, prefer links with graphic capability though links with graphics is still a lame horse compared to Firefox or Seamonkey. I have viewed the FreeBSD Handbook quite successfully with Seamonkey, even Lynx. Another case I think of is mysql as a dependency when the user might prefer MariaDB or PostgreSQL. I think I saw something but can't find it any more.
