all .tgz files go to /usr/ports/packages/.packages, and a relative
symlink is created for every item in CATEGORIES...i.e., if "CATEGORIES
= foo bar", then /usr/ports/packages/{foo,bar}/pkgname.tgz both point
to /usr/ports/packages/.packages/pkgname.tgz.

New variables:
PATCH_SITES: patch equivalent of MASTER_SITES, overridable with
. MASTER_SITE_OVERRIDE.
PATCHFILES: Additional files to fetch and give to patch before
. applying the ones in patches/patch-*. If name ends
. with ".gz" or ".Z", it will be piped through zcat first.
Plus PATCH_DIST_STRIP and PATCH_DIST_ARGS that serve the same functions
as PATCH_STRIP and PATCH_ARGS for patches in patches/patch-*.
In the documentation and echo messages, I used the term "distributed
patches" and "FreeBSD patches" to refer to ${PATCHFILES} and patches/patch-*.
If you can come up with better names, by all means go ahead and fix them.
"grep PATCH /usr/ports/*/*/Makefile" reveals seven ports (mule, jless,
jtcl, jtk, dgd, less, color_xterm, gee I wonder why I'm the one who
implemented this) that can benefit from this. I'm now diving headlong
into /usr/ports to fix their Makefiles.
installation script, DEINSTALL for the deinstallation script, and
REQ for the requirement script, will be added with appropriate
flags to PKG_ARGS if they exist under pkg/.
have three variables:
EXEC_DEPENDS - A list of "prog:dir" pairs of other ports this
package depends on. "prog" is the name of an
executable. make will search your $PATH for it and go
into "dir" to do a "make all install" if it's not found.
LIB_DEPENDS - A list of "lib:dir" pairs of other ports this package
depends on. "lib" is the name of a shared library.
make will use "ldconfig -r" to search for the
library. Note that lib can be any regular expression,
and you need two backslashes in front of dots (.) to
supress its special meaning (e.g., use
"foo\\.2\\.:${PORTSDIR}/utils/foo" to match "libfoo.2.*").
DEPENDS - A list of other ports this package depends on being
made first. Use this for things that don't fall into
the above two categories.
DEPENDS behaves exactly like before, so old Makefiles will still work
the same. The two variables are lists of pairs as described above.
For instance, if your program depends on unzip and libjpeg.5.*, use
the following definitions:
EXEC_DEPENDS= unzip:${PORTSDIR}/archivers/unzip
LIB_DEPENDS= jpeg\\.5\\.:${PORTSDIR}/graphics/jpeg
gmake:${PORTSDIR}/utils/gmake is automatically added to EXEC_DEPENDS
if USE_GMAKE is defined.
If NO_DEPENDS is defined, the list will just be printed out one by one.
