This doesn't solve the ports problem as ports maintainers cannot use
bento for their own build testing.  To take this approach puts us back in
the FORTRAN, punched cards, batch days.

A ports committer under the above conditions have to see in the bento
error logs there was a configure problem, guess at the fix (since it
isn't as easy to test on their own box), commit a fix, wait 24-36 hours
later to see if indeed the commit fixed the problem, repeat if needed...
