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.
