Actually, several ports give you the option of building with or
without X support (i.e., SSH).  It would be nice to have a USE_X11
option in /etc/make.conf for doscmd as well as these ports, so you
don't have to specify it on the command line while building.

Of course, I'd like a pony too.  And a pink bike shed.
