Another snag: devel/doxygen and audio/jack seem to have themselves as dependencies

In the past I had seen this dependency loop:

audio/pulseaudio
  - audio/jack
  -- devel/doxygen
  --- graphics/graphviz
  ---- graphics/devil
  ----- devel/sdl12
  ------ audio/pulseaudio

And the solution to this loop was to do one of the following:

 1. Turn the DOC option OFF for audio/jack.
 2. define NOPORTDOCS when installing devel/doxygen (breaks dependancy
on graphics/graphviz)
 3. Turn the DEVIL option OFF for graphics/graphviz
 4. Turn the PULSEAUDIO option OFF for devel/sdl12

If you don't need the documentaion for audio/jack,  try disabling the
DOC option for audio/jack.
