 As the devel/boost-* packages (via meta-pkgs/boost) now depend on
 "GCC_REQD+=4.5" or later, and I can successfully build
 "devel/boost-{jam,headers,libs}" on netbsd-5/i386 using "GCC_REQD+=4.6", I
 consider this issue to have been dealt with.
 
 One interesting thing--perhaps I'm not as 'make'-savvy as I once was,
 I tried to use the following to simplify the list of packages for which
 I need to override "GCC_REQD" to avoid needless duplication:
 
   .if "${PKGPATH}" == "multimedia/libvpx" || \
       !empty(PKGPATH:Mdevel/boost-*) || \
       "${PKGPATH}" == "meta-pkgs/boost"
     GCC_REQD+=4.6
   .endif
 
 This sort-of works--there are no complaints about malformed conditionals.
 "lang/gcc45" doesn't show up in the nested list of dependencies for the
 target package, yet somehow the installed "lang/gcc46" isn't detected and
 the system proceeds to start building "lang/gcc45" anyway.
 
 If I change it back to check explicit equality of ${PKGPATH} with each
 of the "devel/boost-{jam,headers,libs}" packages, it works properly.
 Not sure what I'm missing.
