Ok, I looked. I believe it has to do with a `set ${option} \$args` line that used to be part of an eval but is no longer. When it was double-evaluated if $args was empty it would evaluate to just `set ${option}` which does a read, but in the current system it evaluates to the equivalent of `set ${option} {}`, which does a write with an empty value. This fails to validate, and so it raises an error.
I believe this to be a good thing. I certainly believe we shouldn't code in a kludge to get the old double-eval behaviour back ;)
I assume that with your fixes everything is indexing properly now, yes? So this shouldn't be a problem?

Hey Kevin! Could I ask you to please take a look at this last commit of mine? You think your recent clean up in trunk/base/ might have something to do with these empty depends_lib lines causing indexing to fail? I can't think of anything else since you're practically the only one hacking on base at the moment (and a big woot for being so brave! ;-)
