 BROKEN ports detecting
Author: Sem

Hello!

As I see you use a very simple algorithm to detect port is broken.

E.g. BROKEN_WITH_MYSQL=<mysql_ver>.
Here the port is broken only if mysql version == <mysql_ver> but marks as BROKEN anyway.

Other common example:
.if some_rare_condition
BROKEN= Some text
.endif

This ports are not broken in default environment.

Any comments?

I suggest that either a port is broken or it is not broken. There is no such thing as broken on platform X. I suggest that such uses of broken are inappropriate and another mechanism should be used.
