gtk/Makefile still sets USE_X11BASE (for historical reasons).
No reason to worry.

Please file a PR for this one.

Seems noone was interested in providing an update so far.
Perhaps you can give it a try? :)

mjpegtools has an option for this:
# cd /usr/pkgsrc/multimedia/mjpegtools
# make show-options
Any of the following general options may be selected:
        dv       Enable usage of the libdv library.
        mjpegtools-simd  Enable MMX/3DNOW/SSE/Altivec support.

These options are enabled by default:
        dv

These options are currently enabled:
        dv

You can select which build options to use by setting PKG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
or PKG_OPTIONS.mjpegtools.

wmaker = windowmaker?

I updated the package to include that.

Fixed (I hope).

Fixed.

Please file a PR for this one.

The packages do not include the relevant buildlink3.mk files,
so the headers/libraries are hidden from the configure scripts.
This is a feature of pkgsrc.

If you want additional dependencies in packages, they should
be specified and not pulled in just because the package happens
to be installed.

If you have suggestions on what to add to the packages, just
let us know!
