It wasn't this case until the _1 portrevision of the most recent
thing, from what I saw in my pkg_info before and after an upgrade
to check a user's problem report.  Is it going to be this way for
good?  I suspect POLA damage, but in any case, if this is the
accepted truth of the matter, can we get a knob for things using
boehm to use c++ for CC?  I'm not too keen on the idea in any
case, but something other than mungeing ports using boehm would
seem more appealing.

Thanx,
juli.
