Why not provide libclang.so in base?

Hi,

I'm using clang-complete plugin in vim,
it claims with libclang.so instead of bin/clang it works better.

However libclang.so is not installed by a default "make buildworld && make
installworld",
even with 'WITH_CLANG_EXTRAS="YES"' in src.conf.
I have to install lang/clang *again* from ports to acquire the
"libclang.so".

So why not provide "libclang.so" in base directly?
I think if it's not a general component, provide a flag something like
"WITH_LIBCLANG=YES" is also fine.
