 This is bad because in this case build tool must have knowledge about
 pkgsrc internals (python/php/ruby/apache list). What if in a few months
 emacses, Lua or something else become a part of this list? The main idea
 for variable MULTI was to hide this magic list (php, ruby, apache,
 apache) and to apply all setting from it for building without any
 hardcoding.
