More and more ports are coming with (optional) GNOME support..
Things like this should be tied into Jeremy's optional dependency
work though.
Before we do anything, however, a sweep through the ports tree
looking for Makefile knobs and standardizing them should really
be done (ie: some ports use NOGNOME, others WITH_GNOME, some USE_GNOME,
and that's just the GNOMEish ports).
There are two approaches to this.. either all knobs turn extra
features on (USE_X11, USE_GTK, USE_GNOME, USE_KDE etc..), or we start
with everything on, and have knobs to turn bits off (NO_X11,
NO_GNOME etc..)
I have no real preference either way, but I do know we need one
or the other and the longer we shy away from it, the harder the
job will be.
