How do you think? Old story, but when ports were transitioning from XFree86 to Xorg, implementation was different, but at the moment there were no Uses framework and DEFAULT_VERSIONS framework, IIRC. I think it would be done using DEFAULT_VERSIONS way if the frameworks were already there. -- Tomoaki AOKI <junchoon@dec.sakura.ne.jp>
