Yes, I noticed that now when you left a reply in another thread. This
makes me wonder if there are actually any benefits at all (other than
it's probably "cleaner" to use "use_autoreconf yes" rather than
putting a random command into pre-configure), but I will definitely
take a look into all ports where I added fetching from source
repositories.
