Do it for all packages that
* mention perl, or
* have a directory name starting with p5-*, or
* depend on a package starting with p5-
like last time, for 5.18, where this didn't lead to complaints.
Let me know if you have any this time.
a) refer 'perl' in their Makefile, or
b) have a directory name of p5-*, or
c) have any dependency on any p5-* package
Like last time, where this caused no complaints.
The devel/libusb1 package is masked for both DragonFly and SunOS. This
cups package set libusb on by default which means cups fails to build
with no set options on those two platforms.
Add an OPSYS check which prevents libusb from even being offered as an
option on DragonFly and SunOS.
