graphics/gdal with option 'python'

[Rainer Hurling]

graphics/gdal can be configured with many options.

When option 'python' is checked ON, the PORTREVISION will be hardcoded 
to 4, see line 192 of Makefile (instead of 9 for the most recent version 
from today).

On side-effect is, that then this port will not be seen by portupgrade 
etc. and so will not be upgraded.

Is this behaviour intended? Is it necessary with actual bsd.python.mk 
any more?

P.S.: Are there any plans for updating graphics/gdal from 1.6.0 to 1.7.2?
