With the lil' ol' commit earlier, please note that the following variables have been put into a de-orbit burn sequence lasting no longer than June 1st 2004, at which point, attempted use of them will result in a port getting a helpful BROKEN tag: USE_LIBTOOL (now USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13) USE_AUTOCONF (now USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213) USE_AUTOMAKE (now USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14) ie: the version number now has to be explicitly specified. With the new bsd.autotools.mk around the corner, there will be further changes across the tree as a lot of things get compressed into a single USE_AUTOTOOLS variable, allowing combination of build/lib/run dependencies, configuration, and environmental settings, cleaning up a large number of hacks currently in the tree. -aDe (don't be the next person to call me "Mister Autotools"... :)
