 circular dependence

 	I think the correct view is - amavisd-milter is for those who want to 
 run amavisd with milter. It use the amavisd-new as supporting port, so 
 it should RUN_DEPEND on it.
 
 	Those, who need new amavis, but don't want the milter interface, need 
 amavisd-new.
 
 	I see no reason to create special options for users who require new 
 amavis with milter interface, but hate amavisd-milter port.
 
 	Of course, you can create slave-variant from both ports, then include 
 them from two separate master ports with different set of options. The 
 amavis-milter will depend on slave-amavisd-milter and slave-amavisd-new, 
 the amavisd-new will depend on slave-amavisd-new and, if required 
 milter, on slave-amavisd-milter.
 
 	But it sound as way to hell for me. As I said above, no user should 
 require new amavis with milter, but rejecting to use amavisd-milter 
 which is exactly for this.
