Update 5.9.13 --> 6.1.0. Fixes yet another buffer overflow (exploit) described at http://security.e-matters.de/advisories/032002.html.
Approved by: nectar (using his security-officer hat)

As we are so close to last tagging, as suggested by
portmgr, maintainer approval is forgone.

gettext upgrade uber-patch (stage 3)
- switch devel/gettext (0.11.1) on, installing full package
- flip devel/gettext-old (0.10.35) to installing only static binaries
with a "-old" suffix -- gettext-old will have its deorbit burn
sequence initiated just after 4.6-RELEASE
- fix up ports for the new world order
Reviewed by: portmgr
For the X11 case, when tkinter is needed, look for it the right way - by USE_PYTHON and PYTHON_VERSION instead of hardcoding a python2.0 path component. Bump PORTREVISION accordingly.
Apologies to Ville for committing this without maintainer approval,
but the ports freeze is so close, and this looks like a trivial
build fix..

Update to 5.8.6. Fix a problem with building Kerberos 4 (Kerberos 5 is still broken).

Update to 5.8.1 with lots of bugfixes. Remove the substitution of /usr/bin/true for autoconf and friends - the fetchmail build system does the right thing now.

Apologies to: sobomax for my harsher-than-needed complaints for his
fast and to-the-point port fixes.
Commit the least objectionable of the possible fixes... maintainer, et al can argue about the rest later, let's get the thing fixed first. This is a combination of my fix and Peter Pentchev's.
Try harder to prevent build process from unnecessarily invoking autoheader, autoconf, automake and aclocal.
Prompted by: Raimar Lutsch <raimar@lutsch.de>
Fix two breakages: - Prevent Makefile from trying to run 644 missing script when no autocrap is installed; - add missed by the configure -lintl into LDFLAGS.
Replace perl with ${PERL} while I'm here.

Chase the checksum - yes, the tarball was rerolled. A non-reachable exit() call was removed from the end of main(), and the version number information was updated in the .lsm file.

Update to 5.6.3, skipping the slightly buggy 5.6.2. Also, correct the help message in the fetchmailconf wrapper script - fetchmailconf depends on py-tkinter, not just Python.

Update the checksum - ESR rolled a flash fix for 'smtpname' handling without releasing a new version.
Submitted by: Donald J . Maddox <dmaddox@sc.rr.com>
Update to 5.6.0 - a fetchmail 'gold release' which fixes two minor bugs and an omission and gives ESR a chance to do some more serious development in a new development version.
