There was a big discussion recently about the implementation of DESTDIR on
the FreeBSD ports mailing list. The current implementation is problematic
in some situations [1] and it's not trivial to implement it right.
Contributors were told to wait a bit until they make their ports DESTDIR
aware [2].

I have one more question concerning unicode support in wxWidgets/wxD. When
I built the wxD samples using the non-unicode version of wxWidgets I got
errors concerning encoding when I tried the HTML example programs. I tried
to build it using the unicode version and all errors went away. I just
have to specify
WX_UNICODE=	yes
in the port's Makefile to use the unicode version. This changes WX_CONFIG
from wxgtk2-2.6-config to wxgtk2u-2.6-config.

Do you think wxD should use the unicode version per default or do you
think the user should choose if he wants to use unicode or not?
