Ports tree updated fairly recently

>Description:
	after:

	cd /usr/ports/net/avahi-app; make

	I am getting this:

	...
	checking for GLIB20... yes
	checking for GOBJECT... yes
	checking for DBUS... yes
	gnome-config: not found
	Error: Couldn't determine the version of your D-Bus package.
	  This is probably an error in this script, please report it
	  along with the following information:
	      Base D-Buss version =''
	      DBUS_VERSION_MAJOR='0'
	      DBUS_VERSION_MINOR='0'
	      DBUS_VERSION_MICRO='0'
	===>  Script "configure" failed unexpectedly.
	...

>How-To-Repeat:
	See above.

	cd /usr/ports/net/avahi-app; make
>Fix:

	Beats me!  I don't understand how (or where) port dependencies are
	encoded, but I gather that the the "net/avahi-app" port should be made
	dependent upon the "x11/gnome-libs" port (which appears to contain
	the requsite/missing gnome-config stript.

	Hummm... OK, I just installed the gnome-libs port and tried again to
	build avahi-app.  This error message did not reappear:

	gnome-config: not found

	Unfortunately, all the others ones after that still did.

	Back to the drawing board.
