 Please comment and/or commit.

 I also explicitely ask for review of two things:

 1. the line "depends_build port:pkgconfig".  The library searches for
 libxml2 and liblouis using pkgconfig.  I don't know which port then should
 depend on pkgconfig - whether the ones that are declaring their existence
 using pkgconfig (like libxml2 and liblouis), or the ones that use
 pkgconfig to find other libraries (liblouisxml).

 2. I also encountered problem with filesystem:

 Warning: violation by /opt/local/info
 Warning: violation by /opt/local/man
 Warning: liblouisxml violates the layout of the ports-filesystems!

 I solved this (after consulting Raim in IRC) by adding the line
 "configure.args      --mandir=${prefix}/share/man
 --infodir=${prefix}/share/info".  But I wonder why MacPorts does not pass
 these arguments itself since it supports autoconf-based systems out-of-
 the-box and should know these dark corners (so that portwriters don't have
 to take care of them in every port).

 Thanks.
