To enable certificate handling for SSL connnections, set
SSL_CERT_DIR and SSL_CERT_FILE in your environment to the
proper values (depending upon which SSL library
/usr/local/bin/lynx uses), as described in:

/usr/local/share/doc/lynx/docs/README.sslcerts

and:

/usr/local/share/doc/lynx/docs/README.rootcerts.

You may also need to generate keys and certificates as
described in the latter document and your SSL documentation.

I'm not sure how I forgot to change these when I added manpage compression to the Makefiles.  Maybe I was asleep.

Satoshi Asami (asami)
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.

Satoshi Asami (asami)
Oh my goodness!  Satoshi is finally fed up and decided to "clean up" all the COMMENTs!  No package names, no version numbers, no "this is absolutix-3.1.2" type comments that have zero information contents.

Now, without any bad examples to follow, nobody has an excuse to import
a port with those kind of comments. :)

Phew!  238 ports modified!

Here's a new checksum.  I was never able to get a distfile that matches the previous one.... ;)

The distfile has a new checksum and since I happened to build it and it appears to work, here's the new sum.

Resurrect checksum, otherwise it will be impossible to verify the version.

The old patch did no longer apply.  Apparently, the distfile has been changed on the server.
