* and in the future, most likely * Linux * BeOS - PC * and FreeBSD Wow! Run FreeBSD under FreeBSD emulation? Can I run my 1.1 CD again? :) * Would it therefore be best to make *three* portballs out of this? * * 1. Common components * 2. top-end support * 3. minimal-impact * * .. with #2 and #3 both dependent on #1? That sounds cool. Look at editors/mule-common and various mule ports. Basically mule-common is the "common components" part, mule is the "minimal impact" part with hooks to build others, and {chinese,japanese,korean}/mule-* are ones with various options for specific languages and input formats. These are overly complicated because they attempt to share the work/ subdirectory for mule-common and one of the others, but if you are willing to extract and build the ports twice, it should be much easier.
