MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.

New USES imake to handle the dependency on imake. This uses accept 'env' as an argument for ports that do use their own or a different do-configure target. Modify xmkmf so it accept IMAKECPPFLAGS as default flags for imake and pass it to the called imake. Modify xorg-cf-files (the FreeBSD.cf configuration file) to allow CppCmd to be overwritten. Pass CppCmd CcCmd and CplusplusCmd via command line to each call of imake via IMAKECPPFLAGS Pass IMAKE_DEFINE with the above arguments to MAKE_ARGS so that imake spawned from Makefile generated by a previous imake also inherit the defined CppCmd CcCmd and CplusplusCmd. Make imake use devel/tradcpp all the time, so that when buidling with clang we do not depend on gcc's cpp. Make imake respect CC and CXX Make imake respect USE_GCC (if set imake will use gcc's cpp). While here: - Remove a couple of indefinite articles from comments - Trim headers - Fix a couple of ports to build with clang or use: USE_GCC=any - Fix a now useless redefinition of the extraction chain - Fix a typo in japanese/Wnn7-lib bundled imake template definitions - Fix some XMKMF execution with no env specified - Use options helper in x11/xautolock to simplify the port932db7c46c

Bump png major5676988fbd
Fix a bug in my patch, which caused the temporary file to be unlinked unfairly. Thanks, Alex! Submitted by: Alexander Leidinger898e952ce9
Re-do the patch-png.c "by the book" -- following the examples in libpng(3) to be able to use the new libpng, which disabled some deprecated interfaces. Modify file.c to use mkstemp instead of tmpnam. Fix an old bug -- when the new server's configuration is created from scratch, we write a file and then read it -- use O_RDWR instead of O_WRONLY. I could not reproduce Andreas' complaint regarding compface related crashes and plan to re-enable them in the Makefile. Too bad this program is no longer in development :(6bcb0919aa
- knews won't compile if you have png-1.0.12 installed. I made a fix, but this interface in use is marked "depricated". - Bumped PORTREVISION9927ee0773

(1) Add new variable, XFREE86_VERSION, to specify which version of XFree86 (3 or 4) to depend to when USE_XLIB is set. XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3 for now, but adventurous users can override it in /etc/make.conf. When XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it is set to 4, the dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries. When XFREE86_VER
Since XFree86 version 4 includes some software that used to be
separate ports, when XFREE86_VERSION=3 the following variables are
provided:
USE_DGS LIB_DEPENDS on x11/dgs
USE_FREETYPE LIB_DEPENDS on print/freetype
USE_MESA LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/Mesa3
USE_XPM LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/xpm
When XFREE86_VERSION=4, these variables have no effect. The
LIB_DEPENDS in the tree for the above four ports have all been
converted to the USE_* counterparts. For your information, this
is the count of the number of ports:
USE_DGS 0
USE_FREETYPE 16
USE_MESA 36
USE_XPM 236
There is a new variable, XAWVER, which is set to 6 when
XFREE86_VERSION=3 and 7 when XFREE86_VERSION=4. This is also
passed to PLIST_SUB so ports that build Xaw based shared libraries
can use this variable to substitute the shlib version number.
There is also a provision of using a separate mtree file for
XFREE86_VERSION=4, but that part is not enabled yet.
Reviewed by: the ports list
Tested by: make index (XFREE86_VERSION=3 only)
(2) Add hebrew to list of valid categories.
