Oddly enough, even when Nut is built, we do not install it, and even then the DEPEND/RDEPEND on x11-libs/fltk is missing. I "fixed" it now (in 18.9) by not attempting to build Nut, and instead only build nut. If a users comes forward who wants Nut, that's for another time.

Fixing the actual bugs (mixing OPT/CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS randomly) in the Makefiles is probably something upstream should be informed of. The solution would be to use canonical variable names like INCLUDES.
