Hello,

Just a notice of what is maybe an error in the Makefile of the Firefox 
port. While installing i got:

--
checking for xft... gnome-config: not found
gnome-config: not found
Package xft was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `xft.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'xft' found

configure: error: Library requirements (xft) not met; consider adjusting 
the PKG
_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if your libraries are in a nonstandard 
prefix
so pkg-config can find them.
===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
Please report the problem to gnome at FreeBSD.org [maintainer] and attach the
"/usr/ports/www/firefox/work/mozilla/config.log" including the output of the
failure of your make command. Also, it might be a good idea to provide an
overview of all packages installed on your system (e.g. an `ls 
/var/db/pkg`).
*** Error code 1

Stop in /usr/ports/www/firefox.
*** Error code 1

It seems that dependencies aren't correctly handled, maybe it's nice to 
make firefox dependent on /usr/ports/x11-fonts/libXft so that the port 
installs nicely without further user intervention.

Thank you!
