+
+ New way to override the default version of a language in the ports
+ tree.
+
+ The make variable, DEFAULT_VERSIONS, allows users to override the
+ default version defined by the ports tree.
+
+ For example, to declare specific versions for Perl, Ruby and Tcl/Tk,
+ it would be defined as:
+ DEFAULT_VERSIONS= perl5=5.18 ruby=2.0 tcltk=8.6
+
+ Today, this only is supported by Perl, Ruby and Tcl/Tk.
