1. New variable DEPENDS lets you list packages that this depends on,
relative to the top (lang/tcl, x11/tk, etc). These packages will
always get made first.
2. Don't configure again if you've already done so successfully.
3. Add pre-configure and post-configure hooks. You can now do a pre-configure,
a local configure, a port-provided configure and finally a post-configure
if you really really want to. I can't imagine anything this will leave us
not being able to do! :) [ Yes, I have actually found a use for at least
two of these in one port - see x11/tk!].

DANGER WILL ROBINSON!
This will cause repeat installs of certain programs, such as `init' and
`rcp', to fail unless one of the two conditions is met:
1) You are in single-user mode.
2) Your security level is set to 0 or -1.
If you have compiled a kernel from the latest sources, your kernel
security level is set to -1 by default, which will keep `init' from
fiddling with it. You can increase it, but not decrease it, from the
command line with the command `sysctl -w kern.securelevel=<new value>'.
I believe that -1 is the most appropriate value to use while we are still
developing the code, although when we ship it should be changed back to 0.
See init(8) for more information.
