I'm surprised, you are not objecting to the port's building of its OWN C and C++ compiler, as well as a bunch of "small" things like STLport, db4, expat (yes, it depends on it, but builds its own too!), sablotron, xmlsec, etc. etc. The vendor, with its requirement to run on the odd OS-es like Solaris -- with no good standard way of adding 3rd party packages -- has some excuse for providing all these. The FreeBSD port-maintainers have none... -mi
