Better for you! However, anyone who updated one of these "linked"
packages would have to just know which other packages to update, too,
and there'd also be more commits, more things to go wrong, and more
bandwidth wasted for "sup" and "cvs" users.

You might take a look at the "pkglint" package. It includes a perl
script, "lintpkgsrc", that does it's own makefile parsing, for speed.
