This also has the advantage of being able to set arguments to configure
which the port maintainer may not have provided knobs for, by doing
something like this:
'www/links' => 'CONFIGURE_ARGS+=--some-option-to-configure',
Of course, this all depends on having portupgrade installed, and using
it consistently for building/upgrading.
