    NEW: x11/emwm & x11/emwm-utils, clarification wanted.

  • Tweaks in the attached tgz:
    
    - separate var names from contents with tabs as is normally done in ports
    - set flags instead of patching
    - fix wantlib for emwm-utils
    
    Does that still work for you? If so, it's ok sthen for someone to import
