>Description:
The lang/expect port does not include an option for the user to easily disable building the port without including X11 libraries.  It did support the WITHOUT_X11 flag, but it had to be set manually in the environment.  I fixed this so that the normal configuration screen will pop up with a check box to enable/disable X11 support.
>How-To-Repeat:
'make all-depends-list' in /usr/ports/lang/expect displays many X11 dependencies that are not needed if not using X on the box.  With the submitted patch, you may uncheck the box for X11 and the same command will not indicate any of these X libraries and instead only want lang/tcl84.
>Fix:
run 'patch Makefile expectdiff.txt' in /usr/ports/lang/expect after saving the attached patch there to enable the option.
