thunderbird-enigmail-1.4.3 build failing on i386 9.1

[Doug Barton]

This problem is caused for portmaster by the wacky way that they changed
the dependency for thunderbird sources to avoid (zomg!) potential for
fetching files related to thunderbird during the enigmail build process.
I objected at the time, but my objection was ignored.

I haven't found a way to work around this problem robustly for
portmaster yet, sorry. I personally use enigmail, and if it's time to
upgrade both at the same time I just delete both and do the build in the
enigmail port directory.

OTOH, the recent enigmail update worked for me using portmaster, I
haven't had time to investigate why it worked this time either. :)

hth,

Doug
