which takes entries of the format <make-definition-name>=<pkgname>. This
has not been added to MAKEFLAGS because (a) premature optimisation is the
root of all evil, and (b) because the .for loop used to implement this
shows the wrong results when multiple prefices are evaluated.
Modify all the package Makefiles to use EVAL_PREFIX, thereby simplifying
them considerably.
ALso simplify the logic to calculate the prefix as well.
package's prefix would not work as part of the environment specification
via MAKE_ENV (as it would not be executed in the correct directory).
Fix this by invoking pkg_info(1) directly, not via an intermediate make(1)
step - this is not as clean, but more effective (i.e. it works).
a bit more user-friendly.
Introduce a show-{gtk+,imlib,kdebase,qt1,qt2,xpm}-prefix target in
bsd.pkg.mk, and use "${MAKE} show-*-prefix" in package Makefiles.
xpkgwedge once, before any other packages have been installed, and
never to delete it. This change finds the prefix of the installed
pre-req package using pkg_info(1), and allows packages to be found in
${X11BASE} and ${LOCALBASE}, not just ${X11PREFIX} - from mail from
Dave Sainty <dave@dtsp.co.nz>, munged slightly by myself.
in preference to X11BASE when trying to find the installed location of
X11 libraries, programs and headers (which will change if xpkgwedge is
installed).
[X11BASE reflects the location of the X11 libs, headers and programs.
X11PREFIX reflects the installed location of X11 packages.]

Ethereal) have changed.

the -S option was fixed, as was a bug in the token-ring decoder. A new
-R option was added to give Ethereal a load-time filter capability (as
opposed to capture or display filters).
