>Environment:

>Description:
	The comments for BUILD_ and RUN_DEPENDS in bsd.port.mk mention only
	the path:dir[:target] method of specifying dependencies. They should
	also mention the packagename>=N: method.

	The handbook apparently has the same omission.
>How-To-Repeat:
	DNA
>Fix:
	Document this feature properly.
