 Thanks for the note; I never saw the original PR. Also I am new to 
 porting and have been recovering from a disk crash, so I've been slow to 
 produce updates for the PyXML and 4Suite ports.
 
 I'd prefer not to accept this patch as-is. We need to remove the 
 long-deprecated --with-xslt option that is currently in the Makefile, 
 and instead add --with-xpath as an option (off by default). I was going 
 to make it something like this:
 
 # XSLT support in PyXML is deprecated and broken, and may render PyXML
 # incompatible with modern versions of 4Suite, so as of PyXML 0.8.4,
 # this port will not install the PyXML's xml.xslt package (this is the
 # default when PyXML is installed independently, anyway). Currently,
 # there is no XSLT support for minidom, but it is possible to convert
 # a minidom document to a format used by various XSLT processors.
 #
 # PyXML's XPath support (xml.xpath) for minidom is functional, however,
 # and may be installed by setting WITH_XPATH=yes.
 #
 .if defined(WITH_XPATH)
 PYDISTUTILS_BUILDARGS+= --with-xpath
 PYDISTUTILS_INSTALLARGS+=       --with-xpath
 .else
 PYDISTUTILS_BUILDARGS+= --without-xpath
 PYDISTUTILS_INSTALLARGS+=       --without-xpath
 .endif
