Thanks again for this suggestion but I can't for the life of me make
it work. I would normally use ports through svn and try to provide a
patch but I have limited time and tools currently (on vacation) so the
best I can do is provide an archive of my updated port files:

For a quick look, I have posted the raw Makefile in pastebin (yes,
it's a mess but it's a work in progress):

If I can't make the above variables work then I'll perhaps fall back
to Carstens suggestion, but my preference is for the standard ports
variables.

Again, all help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Russ
