*Sigh*, although I _have_ looked at the mk/ directory before, I only saw
buildlink2/README. I somehow missed the file buildlink2/buildlink.txt :-/

Ok, described in pkgsrc/mk/buildlink2/buildlink2.txt

buildlink2.txt seems to say 'yes, use it'.

buildink2.txt says: set USE_BUILDLINK2=YES and include the appropriate
buildlink2.mk file.

Obviously, I can no longer look at the compiler/linker invocation to see,
whether there are any references to files/directories in /usr/pkg/.
Is there a way to set a debugging flag in order to see what the
buildlink2 scripts are doing?


  [ examples of perl and x11 package building output snipped ]

buildlink2.txt mentions the deprecation of x11.buildlink.mk. It's not
clear to me what to do in the case of X11. Which buildlink2.mk file am
I supposed to include? Why is there a x11.buildlink2.mk?
