Is there a test, a make target perhaps, that will help? I probably should
have recognized nghttp2 as a name implying a dependency, but didn't.

I'm starting to wonder if it's even possible to reconcile dependencies
among ports that require mismatched versions of supporting programs
and libraries. At the very least it would seem to require an automatic,
consistent naming scheme to avoid conflicts and breakage. At small 
scale it seems feasible, but the ports tree is no longer small.


Thanks for reading, and your help!
