Mmm, I see... So one must be careful not to read "installs_libs" too literally! (i.e. some ports that do not install libraries should still not be marked "installs_libs no")

And ports that aren't noarch could still be "installs_libs no" if they only install a program, right?

So some ports that I should add "installs_libs no" to would be winetricks, curl-ca-bundle, minivmac, whois, vineserver?

And until MacPorts 2.0 is released which will include this feature, the way to add this to ports would be like this, right?

if {[info exists installs_libs]} {
    installs_libs no
}
