 Yeah I haven't heard of this being a problem for other ports. Maybe it is
 best for the prometheus port to work around this.

 > Seems like it shouldn't be that hard for upstream to fall back to `id
 -un`, but the portfile could also set `configure.env
 USER=${macportsuser}`.

 macportsuser would be "macports" but on my system (when using a root
 MacPorts installation) the USER was set to "root".

 Not sure why a build system should care what user it's being run as. Seems
 like it should be completely irrelevant.
