Your link provides an outdated example. Thanks for bringing it up. The ability
to use regular expressions exists since:
revision 1.439
date: 2003/02/12 05:15:03; author: knu; state: Exp; lines: +3 -3
Fix comment. LIB_DEPENDS can contain extended regular expressions.
That was 2.5 years ago. Since then, there appeared special tricks in
bsd.progs.mk, like:
revision 1.491
date: 2004/06/10 07:30:19; author: kris; state: Exp; lines: +29 -30
[...]
* Support glob expressions in USE_GETTEXT to allow more flexibility
in the face of future gratuitous library version bumps by the gettext
developers [3]:
USE_GETTEXT=yEs # Works as before (case-insensitive)
USE_GETTEXT=[5-7] # Accepts any of those libintl.so.x versions
# in the LIB_DEPENDS
[...]
Doc-team (CC-ed) should fix the documentation:
-There shall be no regular expressions in this variable.
+lib can be an extended regular expression

Jeremy, all technical arguments against my idea, which you brought up
yesterday on the gnome@ (viz. non-existent potential for API/ABI
incompatibilities), were wrong. And now you are appealing to "authority"?..
Do not turn this into an ego contest.
