configure scripts created using autoconf 2.13 or later, which allows
to replace many patch-ltmain.sh out there with USE_LIBTOOL and one
additional line in configure script.
o Deal with following issue: (weird)
"The following target is necessary if qt30 is installed at the time
the port build is started; it is related to the Makefiles having
dependencies on these (installed) .prl files." --AlanE
o Bump PORTREVISION

- don't build/install useless static library (useless because we want Python
module, which is by definition shared object). Not only this reduces the
package size and saves disk space, but also halves the time necessary to
compile the port;
- don't install useless .la file;
- remove version number from the shared object - it doesn't serve any
meaningful purpose.
- don't install .la files;
- don't use black magick to create/delete .so symlinks to shared libraries -
our pkg_* tools already work correctly with symlinks.
1. Make PY_DISTUTILS recently added into <bsd.python.mk> actually working.

2. Propagate error code from failed `make depends', when one of the ports
we depend upon is marked BROKEN/FORBIDDEN.

3. By default, when bsd.port.mk configurating Makefile.PL only pass
PREFIX as argument, but some Perl module (eg. Test-Harness) needed
INSTALLPRIVLIB and/or INSTALLARCHLIB in order to install, otherwise
default installation will goes to /usr/lib and not ${PREFIX}/lib,
in some case, adding these tag to CONFIGURE_ARGS is not bad.

4. Update patch-libtool target, so that it doesn't break ports with
autoconf 2.13-generated configure script. USE_LIBTOOL is still not
very useful for such cases, but at least it doesn't break them badly
anymore.

5. Make `make search' working even when /usr/obj/usr/ports exists.

6. When configure script fails unexpectedly don't dump thousands lines of
config.log to the user's screen, because it usually doesn't contain
information useful for tracking the problem anyway. Instead display a
message asking a user to report the failure to the proper entity
(maintainer) and what to include into the problem report.

7. Make PREFIX=/usr situation more sane. When PREFIX is set to /usr,
bsd.port.mk uses MANPREFIX=${PREFIX} and BSD.local.dist for mtree as
always, however those defaults are not appropriate for /usr, and better
options are available.

8. Use ${ECHO_CMD} instead of ${ECHO} everywhere in the bsd.port.mk to
avoid clashing with system .mk settings (${ECHO} has a different meaning
there). Actually the patch is imcomplete, because large portion of those
${ECHO_CMD}s should be ${ECHO_MSG}, but this one will at least make Bruce
happy, which shouldn't be underestimated.
