Infrastructure problems which need addressing
=============================================

	o fix mk/compiler.mk to handle non-pkgsrc gcc,
	  eg. /opt/sfw/bin/gcc. [grant]

	  need to figure out how to override buildlink2's hiding of
	  /usr/local, as the installation of gcc I am testing with is
	  in that directory.
	

Suggested pkgsrc enhancements
=============================

	o Add a sort check to pkglint for PLISTs.

	o Allow tokens in Makefiles, etc to silence pkglint WARNS.
	  e.g. # ABS_PATH could silence an absolute path warning
	  such as
	  WARN: possible use of absolute pathname "/usr", in Makefile.

	o Make pkgsrc work on more operating systems.

	o Permit cross-building of packages which are capable of
	  doing so (e.g. ones that use GNU autoconf properly).

	o Man page handling in PLIST for pkgs which install catman or
	  man pages depending on OS (typically imake).

	o Add an optional check to buildlink to verify that the contents
	  of CFLAGS, LDFLAGS etc are present when the compiler/linker is
	  called. To be used as a means to detect packages which ignore
	  such environment variables.

Suggested other platform enhancements
=====================================

	o platform independent bulk build infrastructure

Suggested cleanups in pkgsrc
============================

	o Make packages install their configuration files under the
	  examples hierarchy, using bsd.pkg.install.mk to copy them
	  to the PKG_SYSCONFDIR directory when necessary.

	o Make packages install honour PKGLOCALEDIR by setting
	  USE_PKGLOCALEDIR=YES where appropriate (for eg. Solaris).

	o Deprecate LTCONFIG_OVERRIDE -- replace with appropriate 
	  LIBTOOL_OVERRIDE

	o Fix remaining packages to install documentation into share/doc
	  instead of share/gtk-doc (usually,
		CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--with-html-dir=${PREFIX}/share/doc/html
	  does the trick; additionally, one might set
		CONFIGURE_ARGS+=	--enable-gtk-doc=no
	  to avoid a gtk-doc dependency if html documentation is shipped
	  with the package). Please fill in GNOME bug reports if any of
	  the packages do not honor these configuration options and/or do
	  not ship with pregenerated html documents.

	o Make packages utilize USE_X11 instead of USE_X11BASE if there is no
	  good reason to install them into X11BASE.

	o Set USE_GCC_SHLIB in packages that link against any GCC library but
	  are missing to define this variable.

	o G/C pkgconfig buildlink2.mk includes and .pc files from all
          buildlink2.mk files
