I'm starting from a clean pkgsrc installation on darwin.  Things sure
have gotten a lot easier since i last tried this back in February.
nice work.

I've encountered a dependency loop: 
gettext-lib -> libtool-base -> bash2 -> gettext-lib

any suggestions on how i can break this loop?  

Here's  what i see:

===> Extracting for gtexinfo-4.2
===> Required package gettext-lib>=0.10.35nb1: NOT found
===> Verifying package for ../../devel/gettext-lib
=> Checksum OK for gettext-0.10.35.tar.gz.
===> Extracting for gettext-lib-0.10.35nb1
===> Required package libtool-base>=1.4.20010614nb9: NOT found
