Thanks a bunch - to both of you. Joshua explained that on IRC as soon as
I hit the send button for that eMail.

This all makes sense, although I would have sort of expected that
build.* is (re-)evaluated in the build phases. That thought is probably
stupid - after all, why shouldn't build.* be available in all other
phases, too? And worse, that would make it change its value throughout
phases, which is not a good idea to begin with.


Thanks again. I've also mentioned you both in the new Portfile.
