If you mean compile/install half the ports in the tree while only
half of those are really required then yes I suppose this is the
"right thing". :)  There has to be a better way of handling this.
Ade and Jeremy are doing an excellent job of handling the GNOME
ports but with GNOME and KDE getting so big soon I won't have enough
room on the first CD to put but one of them.  And discs 3 and 4
will either have to have all of the same packages as disc 1 plus a
couple of packages or no GNOME or KDE stuff at all.

I'm not saying I have a magic solution that will fix any of this.
Heck I haven't even looked at the new beta2 code that Ade is talking
about.  I do know that if every port that needs GNOME libraries needs
to have all of GNOME installed even though most of it isn't required
we're going to be in a world of hurt for a variety of reasons. :/
