>Description:
building graphics/gegl with the ENSCRIPT option enabled forces installation of enscript-a4 with no option to install enscript-letter.  This causes a port conflict if enscript-letter is already installed, or else forces you to use an A4 paper size.  Since 'A4' is NOT the default for all regions, there should be multiple options for graphics/gegl whenever enscript is used, to ensure that enscript-letter can be used in lieu of enscript-a4 .  Adding an extra option is the recommended fix.

I discovered this problem while trying to do a clean re-install of all ports on an existing system (i.e. delete all packages, then build from scratch using portinstall).

>How-To-Repeat:
1.  install print/enscript-letter

2.  attempt to install graphics/gegl (or a port that depends on it) with the 'enscript' option enabled.  Note that the build of enscript-a4 will fail, preventing installation of the port

3.  disable the enscript option for graphics/gegl, note conflict disappears.


>Fix:
WORKAROUND:  do not enable the 'enscript' option if you do not want A4 paper size.
