-- The "pb" namespace alias conflicts with the internal "pb" namespace used
-- by newer versions of protobuf, and google/protobuf/stubs/logging.h has
-- been removed. Use the fully-qualified google::protobuf namespace and
-- drop the now-removed LogSilencer calls so the unit tests build against
-- the protobuf version available in the Ports tree.
