Yes, that's the plan. I've noticed that the framework's improved significantly over the years and I've been able to drop some of my local hacks. > The trend over the last couple of years > is that if we are updating a package then convert it.

Any pointers for how to handle --disable-assembly configure option? For instance, since libreswan requires libgmp, it would have: select LIB_LIBGMP but libreswan doesn't know if --disable-assembly is required, that would be set by a vendor/platform files?
