Multipackages are more difficult, they frequently split WANTLIB up into
"things that every subpackage needs" in one variable, which is then
included in the various WANTLIB-* for other packages - there are also
some issues with flavours where these affect the WANTLIB entries -
but if we can just find a way to automate the common simple cases,
the number of exceptions will be low enough that I don't mind
doing them all by hand.

One important thing is knowing which ports are too complicated and
automatically skipping them. Syncing wantlib by hand is easy (though
slow and error-prone when done in large numbers); spotting problems
introduced by a tool that tries to "bite off more than it can chew"
is a lot harder.

That would be great, thanks!
