Commit #3/4 to enforce caps, no period.

FWIW, checkout of these things took 5+hrs, staying on the local
.freebsd.org net w/o hitting the 'net at all.

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.

Use MAN? macros.  CATEGORIES+= -> CATEGORIES.

added myself as maintainer. mostly eliminate __FreeBSD__ fixed standalone daemon so it works. build it as standalone by default, because that generally makes better sense. (if there is disagreement, I will let it build both ways)

BUILD_DEPENDS on libcnews.a, not some arbitrary executable that comes with cnews and installed in libexec.

Use BUILD_DEPENDS on ${PREFIX}/libexec/ctime instead of .if !exists(${PREFIX}/...), this is not a very clean solution but the previous version simply didn't work because ${PREFIX} wouldn't be substituted at this point.

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.

NNTP with NOV. xthread/xindex not enabled or tested. Makefile will need revising after new bsd.port.mk dependence on pre-configure target is broken, DEPENDS is a comment for now.
