in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
to go about their rotten business. It is issued without acknowledgment
of any obligation, in response to ports/64393.
The patch does NOT bump PORTREVISION as the change is invisible for the
port's or package's users. $FreeBSD$ is sufficient.
I also refute any "bug" with respect to the the porter's handbook's
pages referenced in ports/64393, my port has not written anything after
bsd.port.mk and portlint has nothing to complain about (only that it
can't figure "patch" is legal in a PATCHFILES variable).
Informational: tools that assume .include <bsd.port.[post.]mk> was the
last line in a port's makefile are broken. They should be comparing
the output of realpath $(make -V MASTERDIR) against the output of
realpath $(pwd) instead:
-bash-2.05b$ realpath $(pwd)
/usr/home/ma/db42
-bash-2.05b$ realpath $(make -V MASTERDIR)
/usr/home/ma/db42
-bash-2.05b$ cd ../db42-nocrypto # switch to slave's port directory
-bash-2.05b$ realpath $(make -V MASTERDIR)
/usr/home/ma/db42
-bash-2.05b$ realpath $(pwd)
/usr/home/ma/db42-nocrypto

Note to other porters who want their port to depend on this one: Use
LIB_DEPENDS=db-4.2.2:${PORTSDIR}/databases/db42-nocrypto
Usually, setting
CONFIGURE_ENV?= CPPFLAGS="-I${LOCALBASE}/include/db42"
LDFLAGS="-L${LOCALBASE}/lib/db42" LIBS="-ldb-4.2"
will then work to get the right DB library. At run time, the proper
library will be looked up by its SONAME, which is "libdb-4.2.so.2" and
resides in /usr/local/lib.
