Upgrade to 1.10.4.

Ade Lovett (ade) · 1.10.1
Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order.  The code present in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.

Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.

Preliminary documentation can be found at:
	http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt

which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

Light blue touch-paper.  Run.

Upgrade to 1.10.1. Drop the dependency on ltdl; the client never used it, and the server seems to work okay with the native implementation. The patch to libmaa/decl.h is no longer necessary because the distribution already includes that test (the other libmaa patches still apply--I'm not sure that they're really necessary any more, but they don't hurt).

This new version of dict(1) doesn't seem to default to using dict://dict.org if the config file is absent, so install a config file with some default servers instead of making the user rummage through the man page and the web to figure out how to make this work.

libtool uber-patch

* kill devel/libtool and move to devel/libtool13, upgrading to 1.3.5
* upgrade repo-copied devel/libtool14 to 1.4.3
* break out libltdl into its own separate port
* move to version-numbered binaries/scripts (ie: there is *no* 'libtool'
  any more -- USE_LIBTOOL and USE_LIBTOOL_VER are your friends)

Convert to use REINPLACE_CMD and consequently remove USE_PERL5.  The distribution comes with one Perl script, but it appears to be auxiliary (there are no references to it anywhere except the documentation).  dict works fine without Perl.

Move ``dict'' from the "net" to the "textproc" category.
e80b7f5543
David E. O'Brien (obrien)
Add "textproc" as a category.

Actually, can this thing be moved to `textproc' to live with `ispell'?
Having a distributed electronic dictionary in "net" is stupid.  This port is
virtually ispell with /usr/share/dict/words over the network.  Otherwise I vote
to move `xmcd' to `net' since it gets its CD database over the network.
