This information is basically tested every 2 hours by something setup by 
Kris. If it fails, a message is sent to FreeBSD-ports with the subject

There was a circular dependancy introduced into Xft that was fixed about 
an hour ago. I don't know if that fixed it because my local cvs mirror 
hasn't been updated yet.
