I was very annoyed to see that mrtg pulled in python which pulled in X11 and a lot of other huge items just because mrtg comes with a single python script that I didn't want. Ports are supposed to be easy and the way to avoid mucking with terribly annoying configure scripts. -- -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk."
