I agree! I overlooked that earlier. I scanned the line to quickly  
before and my brain read something like "-mysql" which didn't make  
sense but then I didn't go back and read it again. Bad brain, bad!

Specifying "-macosx" is ... weird. Variants like macosx and darwin_8  
are auto-selected by MacPorts; you should not be selecting (or, as in  
your case, unselecting) them by hand.

I haven't touched the macosx variant since taking over the port. I  
don't even know what iodbc is. And I know very very little about  
kerberos.

Is it just --with-kerberos=/usr you're objecting to here, or the  
other two lines as well?

MacPorts philosophy is in general to use its own software, not system- 
provided libraries, unless there's a compelling reason. I don't know  
what the reason was for using ldap, kerberos and iodbc from the OS  
here. If anyone knows, please chime in.
