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

Stage 1 of gettext update.

Move gettext (0.10.35) with gettext-old
Update gettext from gettext-devel (0.10.40)
Remove gettext-devel
Fix dependencies

Stage 2 will involve upgraded gettext to 0.11 and fixing issues
Stage 3 involves a de-orbit burn sequence for gettext-old

Makoto Matsushita (matusita) · 3.1.0
Fix the problem that the jwhois datacache mechanism is not working properly.

In src/Makefile.am rev 1.18, install-exec-hook: is disappeared (I dunno
why, CVS commit log doesn't answer my question).  As a result, jwhois
binary is not chgrp(1)ed, so do it in Makefile.  pkg-plist should be
fixed to include (empty) datacache directory (that's long standing bug
since the beginning of this port, sorry).
