There are still about a dozen ports that directly depend on misc/compat5x - 
most notably the native opera port, and the nvidia driver port. I was just 
looking at how the compat5x port libraries get used, and it seems the 
abandoned 5x libraries are used in preference to those in the port despite 
the fact that the port may pickup security updates.

Is there any easy way to clean-out these libraries?
