Add two new OPTIONS to this port:

- The PCRE option allows one to link pound against libpcre for the regcomp()
  and regexec() functions instead of libc.  This can make a substantial
  difference in CPU consumption with some workloads.  Defaults to off.
- The LIBTHR option links pound against the libthr for threading, instead
  of libpthread.  This makes a *huge* difference when you deal with enough
  traffic.  Defaults to on.

Bump PORTREVISION.

- Set --mandir and --infodir in CONFIGURE_ARGS if the configure script   supports them.  This is determined by running ``configure --help'' in   do-configure target and set the shell variable _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS   which is then passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS. - Remove --mandir and --infodir in ports' Makefile where applicable   Few ports use REINPLACE_CMD to achieve the same effect, remove them too. -

Fix compile with OpenSSL 0.9.8b from -CURRENT.

Note the fix wrt. OPENSSL_VERSION_NUMBER isn't optimal, but the best way
since base system versions of OpenSSL 0.9.7 don't define OPENSSL_THREADS
even though threads should be supported.

Remove the FreeBSD KEYWORD from all rc.d scripts where it appears. We have not checked for this KEYWORD for a long time now, so this is a complete noop, and thus no PORTREVISION bump. Removing it at this point is mostly for pedantic reasons, and partly to avoid perpetuating this anachronism by copy and paste to future scripts.
