not necessarilty always . it's a good starting point, but not used 100%
depending on what you need to do.

perhaps a piece of documentation is needed and update the freebsd port
for MS to take it out of the prerequisites (assuming it's there) and
make the user hand install it! Yes it makes it a little more
'troublesome' to install, but installing MS is hardly rocket science
once you've read the docs (now configuring the thing is a different
matter:-)
