Hi!

I think I fixed this error. It was caused by the port not
having any default distfile, all the distfiles were set after
OPTIONS, which quite understandably were not set when BATCH=yes.
Seems like it escaped me (and I suppose also the committer)
since I already had saved options under /var/dp/ports.

Now I have set all WITH_* vars by default so that the
corresponding distfiles are added to DISTFILES, checked,
etc.

I will send the patch using send-pr whenever I get to solve
a pkg_add issue: right now the pkg is created w/o problems,
but upon pkg_add, it fails:

[fernan at pi] setenv PREFIX /usr/tmp/ports
[fernan at pi] setenv PKG_DBDIR /usr/tmp/pkgdb
[fernan at pi] setenv BATCH yes
[fernan at pi] pkg_add -p ${PREFIX}

pkg_add: could not find package emboss-2.9.0 !
pkg_add: could not find package XFree86-libraries-4.4.0_2 !

except for emboss (declared explicitly as a dependency in
the embassy port), I believe all others are dependencies of emboss.

Is this happening because I'm using a different prefix for
testing? (ie dependencies are actually in LOCALBASE)

Maybe I need to declare these explicitly as dependencies?

Thanks in advance for any tip or suggestion,

Fernan
