So far I only know the rule "things which depend upon the x11 libs
belong into X11BASE". At least this is the de-facto standard we use
ATM. The description of X11BASE, LOCALBASE and LINUXBASE is ambiguous
in bsd.port.mk, it allows to interprete anything into it.
So whoever wants to talk the last word on this issue should update the
documentation.

I've mailed nork@ (CCed) last week already about some issues with
libmap.conf. He wants to look at it. I'm sure he will take your
findings into account too.
Bye,
Alexander.
