Of course it incidentally "works" ''there'', because we are not looking
for `gcc`. If you define `CC="suncc -whatever"` it won't work, i.e. not
recognize Sun's `cc`.

I think we don't have to provide a (standard) package to make `patch` a
prerequisite.
Note that Mercurial depends on Python, so unless we make one of these a
prerequisite, using Mercurial instead (which I wouldn't like) isn't an
option.
> Leif, what has the pkg-config file for freetype got to do with this
readline package?
Good question... ;-) Apparently wrong ticket... (Confused that because
updating the readline spkg ''triggered'' the `pkg-config` problems with
freetype.)
> Do you want to create a reviewer patch, or shall I unquote CC?
I can do that, as I've suggested some other minor changes [comment:28
above].
