OK, possibly, but then you end up with as many slave ports as there
are 'useful' options ^ 2. Which I think will be a lot.

Well I'm not the maintainer of the port, which is why I'm asking :)
I just wanted to build a set of GNOME 2.8 packages that I can use to instal=
l a
new desktop. And I wanted to see all functionality; I don't care if it take=
s a
lot of diskspace (because I have enough).
Now I don't consider myself as typical but right now there is no way of
getting evolution support in net/gaim without first installing
evolutiondataserver.
And maybe, if net/gaim gets installed via x11/gnome2 or some other metaport
this is always the case. But the point is that on e.g. a package build jail
this won't be necessarily. And I can't force the port to turn it on.
Hence the previous email.
Note: net/gaim is just an example; I suspect there are more. I know of more
ports that have options that are off by default but get turned on if the
proper library is detected; which is also not very nice if you're trying to
build a clean set of packages, but at least there you can forcibly turn on =
the
option.

No, I certainly do understand that not everyone wants evolution support.
