I didn't say they were right, just that they worked ;-)

I think Maxim has already done this.

Please, unless we are due for a complete upgrade soon...  Do you know
when 3.1.1 is due?

They don't.  They have all of the right macros in place, it's just that
we didn't have a macro defined for C++ shared libraries.  I don't think
we're doing the right thing for the static library cases yet.

At the moment I'm trying to go through all of the XFree86-4 ports and
figure out:

1. What the patches actually do...
2. If we can use one shared ${WRKSRC}, since the ports build multiple
   copies of all of the libraries, and they use the wrong (unpatched)
   versions of the config files in some cases.

Regards,
  -Jeremy
