Oh and one more issue I just remembered... I've seen quite a few

don't
want to see it get potentially thrashed...
Am I correct in assuming that this is flat out wrong and should be
reverted back to installing into the macports dstroot? Or was there
some reason for doing this that I'm not seeing?
I had assumed that the ports that installed into ${x11prefix} had
some
need to do so. I had not actually tried to use any of that
software. If
it works fine in ${prefix} then absolutely it should go there
instead.
Yeah, I say move them to ${prefix}, and if they don't work there, fix
them so they do.
Ok, I'll atleast start working on that front while we debate the fate
of dependencies.
