prefer tar.gz for new ports

set it to Yes if it works. not worth spending much time on trying to
make it work unless SEPARATE_BUILD gives a clear advantage (mostly when
a port is fairly large).

ahwm.c:174: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strcmp'
ahwm.c:712: warning: implicit declaration of function 'strlen'
workspace.c:54: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size
workspace.c:106: warning: cast to pointer from integer of different size

implicit decl of string functions are rather likely to cause problems on
LP64 arch. casts from pointer to/from int are sometimes OK but they can
often cause trouble too. if you haven't tried it on 64-bit it needs
testing (it's always a good idea to say what arch you've tested on).

just use DISTNAME=ahwm-0.90, setting this in a separate var is only useful
if you reference it later

not much point listing the FreeBSD mirror there unless the
proper master site is very unreliable (and if that's the case
I'd rather mirror it myself).

generally it's better to use the upstream install target,
"CONFIGURE_STYLE=gnu dest" sometimes helps.

with hand-rolled do-install new files are often missed in version
updates, but I guess this is not a big problem with this particular port.

leave those out, it's just the --disable / --without lines that you
really need to list explicitly.

no point creating these, they're already created from the mtree

I'd rather have 'man ahwm' working, so I would either keep the link or
if you're only going to install it under one name, make that ahwm.

it's often good to add a comment after $OpenBSD$ with the source of a
patch if it came from upstream etc.
