Thank you for doing the documentation.  If there are any clarifications 
that you need, I'm happy to answer them.

There is no exported method to force using the pkgsrc equivalent.  I 
think in that case, manually make the dependency is appropriate.  This 
is not to say that we can't extend the tools framework to do that, but 
it hasn't been something that's come up frequently enough to make it 
worthwhile to do.

Yes, this is correct.
