	I was recently told the reason we need devel/llvm70 is the llvm
in base has - for reasons above my pay grade, but probably not above
yours - certain components disabled which are required by various
ports.
	If 8.0 (in base) has those components enabled, then the odds are
good I can remove devel/llvm[67]0 - recovering almost 700 mb of disk
space and simplifying debugging efforts. 
	Major win for me; probably for others.
