Description Nick Jennings 2002-11-23 03:20:01 UTC 
 
    When using 'portinstall wv' nothing is mention about depending on
    lynx. however when using 'wvText' it mentions that it can't find lynx
    so the text output will look bad.
 
    I know it's not a required dependancy, but it would be nice to mention
    lynx as an optional dependancy.

Fix: 

Not yet familiar with how optional dependancies work with the ports.
   I've seen some ports with otptional make params like
   ENABLE_THIS_THING=y or something?

Refile misfiled PR. 

To the originator: 
Please do not remove the leading '>' characters from fields like 
'>Fix:' and do not insert any leading spaces before them.  They must 
start with '>' at the beginning of a line for Gnats to recognise 
them and do the right stuff.  Thanks for your report :)
