I have definitely more ports that use GNU_CONFIGURE=yes and have
man pages than are on this list.  For instance, archivers/gtar.
Am I missing something or is that list incomplete?

Also, there are some instances of GNU_CONFIGURE=Yes in Mk/Uses/*.mk.
Those won't show when looking at ports Makefiles.
