Comment (by ryandesign):
One reason why `.setup` procedures are bad is that things become
thoroughly confusing if a port needs to include two or more portgroups
each of which has a setup procedure. See for example browser:macports-
ports/multimedia/xmltv/Portfile. Setup procedures typically like to set
the port name and version for you based on the parameters you specify. If
you need to include more than one setup procedure, which one sets those
variables for you? Which one do you call first? Does it matter?

Sometimes it does].
