Yes, these counts are not ideal, and needs to be improved. If you know
when they "don't work", feel free to let me know.

I repeat again, the purpose of these counts were NOT to blame pkgsrc
developers. You may think about them as "further improvements are
needed".  As I already said in pkgsrc-tech@ distbb is still in beta
stage. Any type of feedback is welcomed.

1) ONLY_FOR_PLATFORM / NOT_FOR_PLATFORM
2) ONLY_FOR_COMPILER / NOT_FOR_COMPILER
3) native X11 vs. modular xorg
4) ??? suggestions ???

First, I'll add an option to disable this section at all.
Second, I'm running distbb bulk builds under Linux always with 

  X11_TYPE=modular

"Top maintainers"?
