GkrellM2 Meta port vs traditional scattered port



I updated GkrellM and all of its plugins, to the GTK+2 flavour.  I also just
about doubled the amount of plugins that are in the ports tree.  I feel that
the current structure of having the plugins all over the ports tree is
sub-optimal.  I feel that it would be best in a meta port format, ala KDE,
or Gnome.  The plugins have almost identical Makefiles.  

I would like porters opinions on whether or not to keep the current
structure, or to move all of the GkrellM ports to a meta port.  (If we move
to a meta port, I would sugguest moving the main port to x11)

I have attached my "meta port" for GkrellM, since that is how I keep it
up-to-date in my tree.  Please test and comment (If you are a commiter, and
want to commit, please email me, so I can take care of a few things first).
I have tested it on i386/macppc/alpha. You will have to apply
gkrellm2/gkrellm.patch to the in-tree gkrellm, since the plugins depend on
sysutils/gkrellm. `cd/usr/ports/sysutils && patch < gkrellm.patch` will do
you good.


(P.S. I am having problems with FLAVOR='server', but I will send the details
in a seperate email.)
