 Should itstool be marked `installs_libs no`? Would that be accurate? It's
 `supported_archs noarch` so I know it doesn't install any compiled
 libraries; it installs .its files, and I don't know if those are
 considered libraries or not.

 Currently, some ports using itstool are not distributable, e.g.:

 {{{
 $ ./port_binary_distributable.tcl -v gdm
 "gdm" is not distributable because its license "GPL-2" conflicts with
 license "GPL-3+" of dependency "itstool"
 }}}

 If it is accurate that itstool does not install libraries, then it should
 be so marked to get closer to distributability.
