That it extracts jpeg and png is a feature and is required to build
gs5 (don't ask me why, I don't want to know).  If it actually
*installs* both those ports, there's something amyss with your
bsd.port.mk.  What does the $Id$ line say?

Same for point 2.  New (as in "within the last couple of months")
bsd.port.mk's should handle this.
