Inkscape 0.92.0 now available on MacPorts

[Murray Eisenberg]

Examining my many ports, I find (from sudo port installed and active | grep +x11  that I have 40 ports with +x11 variant, including at least the two, cairo and pango,  that both quarts and x11 support enabled.   I seem to have no trouble with them. And only cairo, tango, and tk with +quartz variants.

So it seems I should go with the +x11 variant of inkscape. 

Now among the dependencies of inkscape (shown by sudo port info inkscape) I see:  

Build Dependencies:   pkgconfig, autoconf, automake, libtool, intltool, perl5.24
Library Dependencies: desktop-file-utils, popt, boehmgc, gdk-pixbuf2, gsl,
                      gtkmm, dbus-glib, lcms2, poppler, boost, ImageMagick,
                      libcdr-0.1, libexif, libvisio-0.1, libwpg-0.3, aspell,
                      gtkspell2, potrace, py27-lxml, py27-numpy

Is there some recursive port command that would reveal if any of these in turn have dependencies that use only quartz support but not x11 support, so I could do some kind of minimal rebuild with x11 and without disturbing any ports that might depend in turn on those other ports that use cairo or pango?

That is, I don’t want to recklessly destroy working ports!
