[rt-users] why does the freebsd port have 200+ dependancies?

So digging into the port it seems you need to enable graphviz support  
with a configure option, but the current port doesn't invoke that  
option.  So the inclusion of all the dependancies was an immense  
waste :-(

I've submitted a patch that upgrades the port to rt-3.8.2, and allows  
a config knob to enable or disable graphviz support for parity with  
configure.
