#39881: html-xml-utils @6.3_0 Odd --program-prefix

 Reporter:  smurfair@…  |      Owner:  macports-tickets@…
     Type:  defect      |     Status:  new
 Priority:  Low         |  Milestone:
Component:  ports       |    Version:  2.2.0
 Keywords:              |       Port:  html-xml-utils
------------------------+--------------------------------
 I just noticed that this Portfile contains the peculiar:
 {{{
 configure.args      --program-prefix=w3
 }}}
 This builds the executables, prefixing their names so that ''hxselect'',
 for instance, becomes ''w3hxselect''. This could cause confusion, with
 shared scripts for example, since that naming convention doesn't seem to
 exist anywhere beyond MacPorts.

 I pruned that line from my Portfile and did a custom build, but I wouldn't
 presume to submit it as a replacement since that would then potentially
 mess up the workflow of anybody using the existing version. Would it be
 possible for the port to be installed with the addition of "properly"
 named symlinks pointing to executables or vice versa?
