We need to get away from the fail-fast approach of the license checking
function then. No matter what value we substitute, we'll need to "skip"
over it.

I know we have the ability to test some values if they are still the
default value versus modified by the portfile. Can this be done on the
license field as well?

Should we perhaps build up an array of rdeps that can be distributed
rather than just returning 0 or 1?
