The tarball linked to from you email ended up building, I am not sure
what I was doing wrong that it did not build before. The `.include
"../Makefile.inc"' like in the Makefile was commented out so "make
install" bombed out until I figured that out.

running 'portupgrade --batch --force gnome\*' I am seeing stuff like

===>   Registering installation for gnome-backgrounds-2.22.0_1
pkg_info: show_plist: unknown command type 21 (2008-08-22 09:58:11)
===>  Cleaning for gnome-backgrounds-2.22.0_1

dunno if that is something important.
