The challenging Ports design

[Bertram Scharpf]

Hi,

  # cd /usr/ports/devel/fossil
  # make install
  [...]
  Error: Unknown option --without-tcl
  Try: 'configure --help' for options
  ===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
  Please report the problem to [...]

The problem is that Fossil uses "autosetup", an "automake"
replacement that has no "--without-XXX" options. You cannot
switch that off in /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.options.mk, line 566.

In this context the word "unexpectedly" is quite
venturesome.
