That's fine, but you shouldn't need anything outside of the
normal source tree to support those tools, right? In other words,
you wouldn't be dependant on yet another program from the ports
system, right?
I'm trying to understand just precisely what depends on what, and
to help ensure that there are no circular dependancies. I'm also
trying to help suggest a path whereby we don't have more important
things (like the doc/ tree) dependant on lesser things (like the
ports system).
