Comment(by ryandesign@…):

 It would be nice if that restriction would only apply to ports actually
 using that particular variable. For example, just because I have a
 nonstandard applications_dir, shouldn't mean that I have to build zlib
 from source, since zlib doesn't have anything to do with applications_dir.
 I don't know how we would determine that beforehand however.
