And the Makefile of each dependency, quite possibly
until I turn blue.

Obviously I'm losing here - perhaps this really is
a non-issue, but what about KDE ports?  X ports?
What about in the future when there are a dozen
things like this?  I think it would be nice to be
able to set the other way around - things you DO
want instead of a potentially huge exclusion list
that requires extra effort to stay on top of.

SIMPLE_PORTS_ONLY for example - then if only the
nasty ones refused to install when it was set...

Anyway, I'm not looking for any more preventative
workaround methods, and repeating this `use
WITHOUT_GNOME' over and over isn't helping me at
all.  I was hoping for two things:  1) A generic
way of avoiding this.  2) A way to clean up AFTER
my DNS server has been transformed into a complete
X Window workstation with KDE, Gnome, CUPS, and
GhostScript.

portupgrade was suggested - perhaps it will be
one of the answers I was looking for...  now I
just need to set up a machine to test-desecrate
with gaim.
