Patch is rather small, introduces two new variables:
UNLINKED: keyword(s) why not linked, to add to the port
BUILD_UNLINKED: simple way to override, as a configuration variable
with this, you could for instance link the wayland ports, annotate
them with UNLINKED = wayland.
Then they *will* participate in meta information for sqlports and friends
but be marked as
IGNORE = Not built because wayland
When someone wants to batch test those ports, all they need to do is
set BUILD_UNLINKED += wayland
