I am working on a new port math/saga. It is my first port.

Now that I am able to directly download the sources of SAGA GIS from sourceforge (thanks to Eygene Ryabinkin and Sergey V. Dyatko), there is another problem with porting where I need some help.

The original configure script of SAGA GIS expects 'wx-config', but in newer FreeBSD systems there only is e.g. wxgtk2-2.8-config.

The porters handbook shows how to configure the ports Makefile to let the port know what wxWidget version to use. I patched the original configure script but obviously that's not enough. The attached files are saved under math/saga and show what I have tried.

     Why are you putting saga into math?  It should be in databases, like
grass and postgis are, or conceivably in science.  I don't see any reason
for it to be in math.

For me SAGA is clearly a mathematical application. In the porters handbook you can read at chapter 5.3.2 for 'science' category:

"Scientific ports that do not fit into other categories such as astro, biology and math."

So I chose 'math'.
