Minor portlint cleaning.

This port RUN_DEPENDS on gnuchessx unless you play the networked version which most newbies probably won't know exist.

Compress a bunch of manpages.  Remove unnecessary @ directives from PLISTs.

Note: I know that this is going to break some symlinks and/or .so
includes, I will back some of these out as I run into these during
package building.

Upgrade, 3.4.0 -> 3.4.1.  Note this now BUILD_DEPENDS on autoconf, and the 1,347 line patch is gone!

And here comes the next round of Makefile updates, for games.  Folks, there are lots of broken stuff and funky Makefiles here.  Please check your ports, and also put yourself in MAINTAINER so I know who to talk to.  Thanks....

Add CATEGORIES lines to a whole bunch of port Makefiles.  Some ports are in multiple catagories - I'll expect the various MAINTAINERS to make further adjustments (and add any KEYWORDS lines) themselves.

Also add an empty "STRIP=" statement so that this package can be build.
