>Description:
lang/see in pkgsrc-current, at version 3.0.1376nb2 at the time of
writing, doesn't build.  This is, i think, due to incorrect generation of the 
configure script, done by autoreconf(1), which is being called
from lang/see/Makefile since revision 1.4 of that file.
>How-To-Repeat:
Checkout pkgsrc-current (as of 2009-10-13), then
   "cd /usr/pkgsrc/lang/see; make"
.  This will give:

./configure.lineno: 20846: Syntax error: ";" unexpected
*** Error code 2

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/lang/see
WARNING: *** Please consider adding c++ to USE_LANGUAGES in the package 
Makefile.
WARNING: *** Please consider adding fortran to USE_LANGUAGES in the package 
Makefile.
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /usr/pkgsrc/lang/see
>Fix:
Not a fix, but a workaround: comment out the following two
lines from lang/see/Makefile:

   pre-configure:
           cd ${WRKSRC} && autoreconf -vif

Of course, this will undo most if the changes introduces in the CVS
commit which included Makefile revision 1.4.
