Right now, graphviz is distributed by AT&T with autoconf's configure
script, and (with few modifications to the result) it is used
to compile it under APE. Changes to the source code are localized
and the patches will hopefully be applicable to new releases too.
Looking at the diff, I think it would make sense to incorporate the
changes into the main distribution.
Removing vowels from make would be a good excercise, but would
require continuous maintenance of the port. Unless a different
environment is written around the same algorithmic core to fit
into Plan9 environment, it does not make much sense, I think.
It's just a tool to draw graphs. It will not begin to draw
better graphs when compiled with mk instead of make.
