Some years ago we agreed to avoid BUILD_DEPENDS=${RUN_DEPENDS}. By
reducing install and uninstall the bulk build is faster.
I detect missing dependencies by comparing portgen output and
inspecting Makefile.PL changes. Pure Perl modules have no build
dependencies anyway. I doubt that many porters will see a missing
run dependency when something scrols by during a ports build.
Of course if it helps you maintaining your modules, keep them.
