pkgtools.conf make arguments ignored (?!?)

[martinko]

hello,

i'm having troubles with specifying make arguments to portupgrade via 
/usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf.
this is a part of my config file:

   MAKE_ARGS = {
     'x11/yelp' => 'WITH_MAN=1 WITH_INFO=1 WITH_GECKO=mozilla',
   }

it works only if i run `portupgrade -N yelp`
but it does not work when i run eg `portupgrade -N gnome2-lite`

interesting thing is that according to pkgtools.conf itself the 
following should work too but it does not :

   MAKE_ARGS = {
     'x11/yelp-*' => 'WITH_MAN=1 WITH_INFO=1 WITH_GECKO=mozilla',
   }

is this a known issue (and why?) or am i doing something wrong ??

this has been haunting me for a while so i really appreciate your help.

cheers,

martin
