RFE: create system_x11 variant for mkfontdir

[mcalhoun@…]

Attached is a proposed change to mkfontdir since XQuartz seems to provide
/usr/X11/bin/mkfontdir.

I think I'd rather go with a 'bin:mkfontdir' dependency in other ports than add the system_x11 variant to the individual X11 applications. That way, you shouldn't actually get mkfontdir from MP unless you specifically request it. What ports are you seeing this in?

[mcalhoun@…]

I ran into this in libwmf +x11.

As discussed on the list recently, don't override fetch, checksum, extract or patch; instead just clear distfiles (and patchfiles if necessary).

[mcalhoun@…]

With the dependencies change of libwmf (r48961), I am happy to have this ticket closed.
Is there a reason to keep it open (say as a reminder to make similar changes to other ports)?
