In a recent port I did (but haven't committed it yet) the author provided a define to disable it.

Perhaps someone from -hackers or something could comment on how we could have a getopt_long that could be implemented in these ports. - bill fumerola - billf@chc-chimes.com - BF1560 - computer horizons corp - - ph:(800) 252-2421 - bfumerol@computerhorizons.com - billf@FreeBSD.org - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
