I was building wv and it failed:

...
===> Required package xpm>=3.4knb2: NOT found
===> Verifying package for ../../graphics/xpm
===> xpm is part of your X11 distribution
===> Returning to build of wv-1.0.2nb1
...
===> Creating toolchain wrappers for wv-1.0.2nb1
xpm is not installed; can't buildlink files.
*** Error code 1

I have libXpm installed from xorg-libs-6.8.1nb2 package.

I have defined:
PREFER_PKGSRC+= Xft2
PREFER_PKGSRC+= ncurses
PREFER.iconv=native
PREFER_PKGSRC=  YES
PREFER_NATIVE+= iconv

Any suggestions on how to improve graphics/xpm/builtin.mk so that Xaw-Xpm,
xpm, xorg-libs or XFree86-libs will be fine for Xpm?

And should the PKG_SKIP_REASON in graphics/xpm/Makefile be removed or
fixed?

Thank you,

 Jeremy C. Reed

p.s. By the way, I am thinking about packaging xlib's libXpm. It already
uses autoconf and libtool.
