Its pretty cool, built totally with make(1) and make include files.
We'll convert you one day!  :-)

IIRC a ports administrator added the BROKEN tag. The build of doxygen
utilities has routinely broken over the years and I remember Joerg
reminiscing on making the default no-documentation.

% cd /usr/ports/devel/avr-libc
% cvs log Makefile | more

In another topic, I don't know why nongnu.org silently drops my email
sent via this means. Haven't tried it in a while so I'm giving it
another shot. If you see something funky in the headers, please advise.
Mutt on FreeBSD with Postfix delivering to Knology.net. MacOS X Mail.app
works fine *behind* this machine delivering to Knology.net or
Hiwaay.net. And this machine works fine sending email everywhere else.
