The problem is that it isn't just that port. I've also seen it on 
databases/mysqldumper for example. It's going to affect all ports which 
have USE_PHP=mysql within them of which I suspect there are quite a lot.  
It might be impractical to do what you suggest with them all and I'm 
wondering if miwi as the maintainer of PHP7 has any thoughts of an 
official way of solving it.
