Hi.

You can make use of the ports collection without actually having it:
point a web browser to: URL:<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi>

What I mean is that it can be useful to look at a port's Makefile (and
sometimes it's patches) and see e.g. what configure options the port of
the app in question uses.

Just a thought.
