Yup.  I am also looking at extending the GNOME/GTK/GLIB knobs beyond
a simple yes/no to include a version number, eg:

	USE_GTK=	12
	USE_GNOME=	14

Extending this to Tcl/Tk will also help out somewhat, though this will
be slightly complicated by the japanese/* etc ports where there are
different versions.  Think:

	USE_TK=	83	(implies USE_TCL= 83)
	USE_TCL= ja83	(use japanese/tcl83)

and so on.

Extending this to X, we would end up with:

	WITH_X= 3,4  (perhaps x11-3, x11-4 to cover a possible x12-*)

allowing us to deprecate XFREE86_VERSION.
