I wanted the change, too. From what I understood (and I could have been
wrong) Satoshi was telling me if I wanted such a thing, code it in each
ports makefile, that it wasn't needed to change bsd.port.mk. I
disagreed, but I don't trust myself to make changes in bsd.port.mk (what
a tangle!) so I let it lie.
