I certainly could.  It just seems silly to add another hook that nobody will
use except one port, to avoid changing the semantics of a hook that nobody uses
at all.  I'm willing to do it, but it just seems like a messy waste.

(I'd object to the ifdef though, as that would be considerably different than
every other hook, and very non-obvious to other portmasters trying to enhance
sysinst)
