Well you see, it will not need the USE_GCC if I can fix it. At the almost each version, I had to fix it to get it works nicely with the GCC 2.9x. I can't make a fix before ports freeze, I don't have any FreeBSD desktop anymore because my motherboard has died. New computer will be arrive between Monday to Wednesday. The truth is that I rather to wait after ports tree freeze to update Wesnoth.

I don't see how the pkg-plist has to do with the 'make install''s overflow to install Wesnoth, however.

Sorry, I am very strongly disagree with the automated pkg-plist because I depend on pkg-plist a lot to find what file(s) that are belong to port to create dependency or whatever. I like to find stuff in pkg-plist than google, because it's a lot quickly and know which port. I can't see how the pkg-plist will hurt you when you just do the 'make install'. However, have the pkg-plist helps me to track the files better too. I don't need to list the full reasons here.
