bsd.buildlink3.mk calls:

    ${PKG_ADMIN} -s "" lsbest "${BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.${_pkg_}}"

but pkg_admin lsbest can only handle one word. this causes a warning
from pkg_admin:

    pkg_admin: ` ' not recognised
    pkg_admin: `>' not recognised
    pkg_admin: `=3D' not recognised

in 'make extract', zlib is listed twice:

=3D=3D=3D> Required installed package zlib>=3D1.1.4nb1: zlib-1.2.1 found
=3D=3D=3D> Required installed package zlib>=3D1.2.1: zlib-1.2.1 found

it didn't seem to make sense to depend on an old version *and* a
new version...

grant.
