>Description:
        graphics/gimp-refocus-it is (yet another) package that has a Makefile
        line (a .deps/*.po file in this case) that is too long for
        NetBSD 4.0's version of Make to handle successfully.

>How-To-Repeat:
        I use pkg_comp with libkver and NetBSD 4.0 release sets installed
        (except the x* sets, I use X11_TYPE=modular instead).  Of that, the
        relevant fact for this PR is "NetBSD 4.0".

        In that environment ...

Making install in src
Making install in doc
Making install in gimp-plugin
[1]   Segmentation fault (core dumped) (cd ${subdir} &&...
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in 
/pkg_comp/obj/pkgsrc/graphics/gimp-refocus-it/4x/refocus-it-2.0.0
*** Error code 1

Stop.

        the core file is from "make" and sure enough (in gimp-plugin) ...

pkg_comp:default.conf# ls -la .deps
total 146
drwxr-xr-x  2 root  wheel     512 Jan 30 12:33 .
drwxr-xr-x  3 root  wheel     512 Jan 30 12:33 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  134019 Jan 30 12:33 main-gimp.Po

        And ...

pkg_comp:default.conf# sed '/\\$/!q' .deps/main-gimp.Po | wc -c
   67659

        ie: the first "line" in .deps/main-gimp.Po is > 64KB long.
        That's death for NetBSD4's version of make.

>Fix:
        First, handle PR pkg/42704 then add

                USE_TOOLS== bmake

        to graphics/gimp-refocus-it/Makefile if the final solution to
        that PR requires pkgsrc Makefile modifications.

        I have verified that that this allows this package to build
        successfully on NetBSD 4.0.

        The USE_TOOLS can be conditional upon the OS being NetBSD 4
        (other supported systems don't have the bug.)

        If 42704 isn't handled, using gmake instead of bmake will probably
        also work (unverified.)
