Hi,

Be careful with includes in a port build. I have caught two ports using
the include files installed by a previous version of the port instead
of the local port copy of the same include file. (Yes, one was in one
of my own ports.) In particular, configure args that put the -I
to /usr/local/include or /usr/X11/include before the -I ${WRKSRC}/..../include
can break or at least compile incorrectly if the port include files change
between releases. If you are lucky, it will fail.
