An example > is the patch for multimedia/mlt: I looked at the OpenBSD port patches and stripped out the xlocale interfaces, just a bit different (using HAVE_XLOCALE i.s.o __FreeBSD__) so it'll work on HEAD. Hopefully, I can get an autoconf patch for this xlocale(3) test back to upstream, else I'll set it based on $OSVERSION in the port's Makefile, cause so far I can get away with not using USE_AUTOTOOLS. For future reference, USE_GCC=4.6 didn't help. -- Mel
