Comment(by jeremyhu@…):

 I asked yesterday in xorg-devel about RAWCPP prefering cpp over $CPP... it
 was done explicitly, so there has to be a reason...

 I'm guess a portgroup would be ok... but I really don't see the point.
 The only thing that this saves us is that the test environment won't flag
 a false positive.

 Perhaps the better thing to do is just ignore it.  All it needs is a
 generic cpp for man pages and the like.  It isn't for code, so $CPP isn't
 necessary there.  Why they don't just use $CPP is beyond me, but I'm
 guessing there is a reason...
