Disable SSLv2, to fix new/from-ports OpenSSL builds.
Newer and ports-based builds define the SSLv2_client_method() in the
headers unless OPENSSL_NO_SSL2, or, depending on version,
OPENSSL_NO_SSL2_METHOD is defined, however newer OpenSSL versions in
FreeBSD no longer provide the implementation in the library.
Preload the autoconf (configure) cache to pretend SSLv2_client_method()
were universally _un_available, effectively disabling SSLv2 altogether.

Improve shebangfix framework
- Support multiple values in *_OLD_CMD, i.e. we can now fix both "/usr/bin/python" and "/usr/bin/env python" at the same time
- Default *_OLD_CMD values are now always appended, so you don't need to specify them in individual ports
- Add lua support (depends on USES=lua)
- Add more default values, such as "/usr/bin/env foo" for python, perl, bash, ruby and lua
- Shebangfix now matches whole words, e.g. we will no longer (erroneously) replace "/usr/bin/perl5.005" with "${perl_CMD}5.005" (but "/usr/bin/perl -tt" is still (correctly) replaced with "${perl_CMD} -tt")
Note that *_OLD_CMD items containing spaces must now be quoted (e.g. perl_OLD_CMD=/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl "/usr/bin/env perl")
Update shebangfix usage according to new rules in many ports:
- Remove *_OLD_CMD for patterns now replaced by default
- Quote custom *_OLD_CMD which contain spaces
Fix shebangfix usage in many ports (irrelevant to infrastructure change):
- Remove redundant SHEBANG_LANG (no need to duplicate default langs)
- Remove redundant *_CMD (such as python_CMD=${LOCALBASE}/bin/python${PYTHON_VER} when USES=python is present)
- Never use *_OLD_CMD in REINPLACE_CMD matchers, these should always look for exact string

Upgrade to new version 6.3.26.
This fixes one data loss bug that causes the last line of a message to
be lost if it is unterminated (i. e. no LF character) and if the
"mimedecode" option is enabled (which defaults to "off").

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
- Add LDFLAGS to CONFIGURE_ENV and MAKE_ENV (as it was done with LDFLAGS) - Fix all ports that add {CPP,LD}FLAGS to *_ENV to modify flags instead

Assorted minor fixes and touch-ups:
- Fix: rcfile: export FETCHMAILUSER=$fetchmail_user [1]
- Fix: when installing from source, make /var/run/fetchmail directory
so that a global fetchmail installation won't break after port
upgrades
- Change: compile GSSAPI support by default (it's in base)
- Cleanup: rcfile: drop support for fetchmail.sh script name
- Cleanup: rcfile: don't mix backtick with apostrophe in comments, they don't
match

Security fix for CVE-2010-1167.
This unbreaks the build, since this vulnerability is listed
at http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/09910d76-4c82-11df-83fb-0015587e2cc1.html.
Add the recommended upstream patch.

Update to new upstream release 6.3.14. Changes:
# SECURITY FIXES
* SSL/TLS certificate information is now also reported properly on computers
that consider the "char" type signed. Fixes malloc() buffer overrun.
Workaround for older versions: do not use verbose mode. CVE-2010-0562
See fetchmail-SA-2010-01.txt for details, including a minimal patch.
# BUG FIXES
* The IMAP client no longer skips messages from several IMAP servers including
Dovecot if fetchmail's "idle" is in use. Causes were that fetchmail (a)
ignored some untagged responses when it should not (b) relied on EXISTS
messages in response to EXPUNGE, which aren't mandated by RFC-3501 (the IMAP
standard) and aren't sent by Dovecot either.
Fix by Sunil Shetye (the fix also consolidates IMAP response handling,
improving overall robustness of the IMAP client), bug report and testing by
Matt Doran, with further hints from Timo Sirainen.
* The SMTP client now recovers from errors (such as servers dropping the
connection after errors) when sending an RSET command.
Fix by Sunil Shetye. Report by James Moe.
* The IMAP client now uses "SEARCH UNSEEN" rather than "SEARCH UNSEEN NOT
DELETED" again on IMAP2, to fix a regression in fetchmail 6.2.5 reported by
Will Stringer in June 2004. (Sunil Shetye)
* The IMAP client now uses "SEARCH UNSEEN UNDELETED" on IMAP4 and IMAP4r1
servers (Sunil Shetye).
* Workaround: The IMAP client now falls back to "FETCH n:m FLAGS" if the server
does not support "SEARCH". (Sunil Shetye)
* The IMAP client now requests message numbers in batches of 1,000 to avoid
problems if there are more than 1860 unseen messages. (Sunil Shetye)
Note that this wasn't security relevant because fetchmail would only read up
to the maximum buffer size and leave the remainder of the string unread, going
out of synch afterwards.
* Stricter validation of IMAP responses containing byte or message counts.
# CHANGES
* Only include gssapi.h if we're not including gssapi/gssapi.h, to fix a FreeBSD
compiler warning about gssapi.h being obsolete.
# DOCUMENTATION
* The README.SSL document was revised for grammar, spelling, and clarity.
