Last time ade did this to one  of my ports, I asked for explanation. Why
do  _always_ care  for  the version  number? If  the  dependency is  not
installed yet --  the latest one will  be built anyway. And  if an older
version is installed (say freetype-2.0.2) -- who cares?

I'm not saying this change is wrong, I just understand, why not omit the
library version  number altogether (unless  it is important --  some bug
fixed, etc.)? Like:

	LIB_DEPEND=	freetype2:${PORTSDIR}/.../

Ade is yet to respond (only a month or so). Could someone clue me in?
