Well, I think it's rude to tread on some another port without even an apology 
and requiring work on my part to fix something imposed on me.  And you say that 
this is infeasible.  What about the people who build apps against ice-cpp 
library and the changes that this require them to their build systems?  You're 
pushing all this work on me and the people that use ice-cpp.  MacPorts X11 isn't 
a required feature, but a nice to have, since ports can use Apple's X11.

Additionally, it's hypocritical to say, it's OK for X11 to impact these other 
ports, even when the X11 ports are new, and not give ice-cpp the same weight.

If somebody said, look, I'm sorry about this, we're going to do this in spite of 
ice-cpp, how can I help, that would be great.  I realize that ZeroC gave a bad 
name to their shared library, but that's out of my hands.  So now I need to 
figure out the best solution to resolve this and take time I don't want to spend 
on this issue.

True, but not in this distribution.
