Oh, no argument at all there - why do you think I came up with the ports collection in the first place? :-) It was really aimed primarily at admins, like myself, who didn't want to have to remember all the details for building the dozens of tools they typically brought onto every new box. I started with a shell makefile for emacs, then bash, then I moved the common elements into a .mk file, then, well, the rest is history. :-) I'm all for making life easier, I just want to make sure that whatever we come up with can eventually be built into something as comprehensive as the ports collection has become under Satoshi's expert tutilage.
