So in this case you would depend on
path:/usr/X11/lib/pkgconfig/x11.pc:xorg-libX11
If /usr/X11/lib/pxkgconfig.x11.pc exists that will satisfy (would
be the case on Leopard and later), and if not, then port xorg-
libX11 will be installed (for Tiger and earlier).
Yeah, but what if someone has it in /usr/local/... or whatever...
I guess I could do it with ${x11prefix}, but it would still be nice
to have a "is this file in any prefix that would be searched for
bin: lib: dependencies" kind of dependency such that
bin:myapp:myapp would be equivalent to thisnewone:bin/myapp:myapp
It is already unsupported for users to have anything in /usr/local
while using MacPorts. We don't want to now reverse that policy.
bin: and lib: dependency styles wouldn't search /usr/local. Well, I
suppose, unless the user added /usr/local/bin to binpath in
macports.conf. But that would be unsupportable.
