With all the permutations of the postfix-current port I'm about to commit,
that will be one postfix port, with 20 slave ports.
I think that's excessive and shows a weakness in the current system. Furthermore,
I really don't care what work has gone on in the past because it obviously
isn't in place and in use right now, which is what matters.
I'll be a happy man when I can do
RUN_DEPENDS= /var/db/postfix+foo+bar+baz:${PORTSDIR}/mail/postfix,WITH_FOO,WITH_BAR
(I don't care about the grammar/syntax, but it should be obvious what
I'm trying to accomplish here.)
