An intruiging INDEX problem -- slave ports + make.conf KNOBS

[Chris Rees]

Hey all,

Apparently if you define something in make.conf that slave ports also
define, then a generated INDEX becomes useless...

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=ports/162088

Basically, jpeg2ps-a4 -slave port of-> jpeg2ps-letter which defines
A4=yes, and turns jpeg2ps into jpeg2ps-a4, thus duplicating INDEX
records. Unfortunately, the master port is indexed first, so
jpeg2ps-a4 is left with an incorrect origin...

Does anyone have any clever ideas around this?
