  With pkgng in play, I get more and more requests from people, who want to
 use only binary packages. And when such vital (for many) features as
 mod_dav_svn and (not so vital, but desirable) DE integration is non-default
 options of single port, it could not be done.

  BTW, nobody objects against separated language bindings, especially Java
 ones :)

  Really, I get requests to have "mod_dav_svn" package at least twice a month
 for all time subversion port exists. But, yes, maybe separation to
 libraries and binaries is too much, and I need only extract apache-related
 stuff and DE-related stuff.
