More on this... This is with pkgsrc updated ~1000 US EDT today.

OS X (10.4.7 in my case) has openssl and libpcap that have been usable and
found automagically by pkgsrc (and except for cairo, libz has been usable and
found automagically). Now I have PREFER_NATIVE+=zlib in mk.conf (to satisfy
cairo, but as noted previously, that means I also need PREFER_NATIVE+=iconv).

Now I try to build net/wireshark and it wants to build pkgsrc versions of
openssl and libpcap. Removing PREFER_NATIVE+=zlib lets things proceed with the
native versions. Setting PREFER_NATIVE+=libpcap and PREFER_NATIVE+=openssl
also work, of course.

But there's another oddity: with PREFER_NATIVE+=zlib wireshark wants to
install x11/randrproto, but without PREFER_NATIVE+=zlib, wireshark is happy
without randrproto.

Is this expected behavior or is it PR material?

Thanks,
Mark
