Building Scrollkeeper

[Gerard Seibert]

I have Bison-2.3 installed. Apparently, scrollkeeper wants Bison version 
1.75 to build.

Attempting to run portmanager, produces this error:

skipping scrollkeeper-0.3.14_5,1 /textproc/scrollkeeper until dependency
bison-1.75_2,1 updated

I checked it using the following:

/usr/ports/textproc/scrollkeeper # make pretty-print-build-depends-list 
This port requires package(s) "bison-1.75_2,1 docbook-sk-4.1.2_3
docbook-xml-4.2_1 docbook-xsl-1.71.1_2 expat-2.0.0_1 gettext-0.14.5_2
gmake-3.81_1 intltool-0.35.1 libiconv-1.9.2_2 libxml2-2.6.26 libxslt-1.1.17
m4-1.4.8_1 p5-XML-Parser-2.34_2 perl-5.8.8 pkg-config-0.21 sdocbook-xml-1.1,1
xmlcatmgr-2.2" to build.

Is there any easy way to allow scrollkeeper to accept either version of 
Bison that happens to be installed. I really do not like having to 
downgrade every time I update scrollkeeper and then remove the old version 
of Bison and then replace it with the newer version. It just does not make 
any sense. The two versions cannot coexist happily on the same machine 
evidently.
