No subject

Maybe I am missing something, but shouldn't the ports that _do_ install
libraries explicitly say so, with 'installs_libs no' being the default?
(And if 'installs_libs no' _is_ the default, why have it in the Portfile?)

Please excuse my ignorance: how does a macport user specify, say,
the exact CC to use when installing a port? The provided Makefile
then also uses the specified CC and CFLAGS and build time, right?

Why?
