Hi there, 
I use textprox/py-enchant for a web application.  Specifically we use
py-enchant to act as a spell checker inside ckeditor for some webforms in our
app.  The current py-enchant port has a USE_* dependency on wxPython.  This
pulls in a pretty large dependency tree (totaling around 1GB of packages - most
of which are related to X and graphics libraries) which we do not need or
really want on our web app nodes.

In my environment I have verified that I can build the port without the
following lines and things works as expected:

$ diff -u Makefile Makefile.wip 
--- Makefile    2017-06-05 18:11:25.603805000 +0000
+++ Makefile.wip        2017-06-05 18:12:04.288514000 +0000
@@ -18,8 +18,6 @@

 USES=          python
 USE_PYTHON=    distutils
-USE_WX=                3.0+
-WX_COMPS=      python:run

 LDFLAGS+=      -L${LOCALBASE}/lib


Would it be a better long-term solution to define USE_WX as an optional flag
that users can override?
