Comment (by ryandesign@…):

 Ah. Well, we have in many ports had to explicitly use the "-mt" suffix.
 Admittedly it was inconvenient to have to do that, and it would have been
 simpler not to have to do that. On the other hand, it's already done now,
 so if we were to change this now, we would have to undo that in all those
 places.

 Also, the port currently always installs the multi-threaded libraries, and
 offers users the option of also installing the single-threaded libraries.
 With your proposed change, I'm assuming we would no longer be able to
 offer users that choice, and would only install the multi-threaded
 libraries using the filenames that were previously used by the single-
 threaded libraries. I don't know whether continuing to offer the choice to
 install the single-threaded libraries is important or not.
