Make lib/charset.alias a file only provided by converters/libiconv
Create a new USES: charsetfix, that will modify in post patch the Makefile.in to prevent a port from modifying/overwritting the charset.alias file during make install.
Prevent devel/gettext from installing that files.
Fix a couple of ports that actually touch charset.alias during the build phase.

GNOME 2.20 release notes can be found at
http://www.gnome.org/start/2.20/notes/en/ . Beyond that, this update
includes the new GIMP 2.4 (courtesy of ahze).
The GNOME 2.20 update also includes a huge change in the FreeBSD GNOME
hierarchy. We are now using the more standard DATADIR of ${PREFIX}/share
rather than ${PREFIX}/share/gnome. The result is that fewer patches and
hacks are needed to port GNOME components to FreeBSD. This will mean some
user changes may be required, so be sure to read /usr/ports/UPDATING for
more details.
This release and the things we accomplished in it would not have been
possible without mezz's crazy idea to collapse DATADIR, and his persistence
to make it happen successfully. Ahze and pav also deserve thanks for
their work on porting modules and testing the whole ball of wax on
pointyhat (respectively).
The FreeBSD GNOME team would also like to thank our various testers and

conversion by removing code which installs compatibility `g'-symlinks. This
change is likely to break the following ports:
ports/x11-wm/icewm
ports/databases/grass
Please blame their maintainers, not me.
manpages installed by libiconv (aka GNU iconv) and add similar `b'-prefixes
into components installed by iconv (aka BSD iconv). The reason why we do this
is because unfortunately BSD iconv become abadonware (author doesn't maintain
it anymore), while number of ports that need functional iconv library grows
very fast, thus creating significant overhead due to patches needed to make
ports working with prefixed GNU iconv. For compatibility reasons create
symlinks in GNU iconv, so that all ports that expect GNU iconv to have `g'
prefix should work unmodified until all those `g'-hacks are wiped out.

- properly name shared libraries (get rid of bogus .so.X.Y convention);
- add files missed from pkg-plist (documentation);
- don't waste time building/running tests included into distribution.
(gnome@) were informed a couple of days ago, but are impressively silent
and I've been using KDE/libxml2 linked against this library since with
no problem.
