            Bug ID: 240301
           Summary: Misleading USES=gmake:lite example in section 17.1 of
                    Porter's Handbook inconsistent with section 17.31
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Only Me
          Priority: ---
         Component: Website

Section 17.1 of the Porter's Handbook
(https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/uses.html#uses-intro)
gives "USES=gmake:lite" as an example, but section 17.31
(https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/uses-gmake.html)
and /usr/ports/Mk/Uses/gmake.mk both say that USES=gmake takes no argument. I'm
told in IRC that the latter is correct. Maybe fix the example so it's actually
correct usage?
