Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself. Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it. Preliminary documentation can be found at: http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the Porters Handbook.

- Update to 0.5.57 - Require Autoconf 2.54+ - Switch to dynamic pkg-plist (PLIST_FILES + PORTDOCS)4a84163527
Replace all known incantations of WANT_{AUTOMAKE,AUTOCONF,LIBTOOL}* with the USE_<x> equivalents. In the current scheme of things, the WANT_ variables in this case are synonymous with the USE_ ones, and thus need to be exterminated.
