in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port. Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version. To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.
For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.

Line up the rhs of variable assignments nicely. Remove a couple of extra
whitespaces while I'm here.

${MACHINE_ARCH}--freebsd${OSREL} is now passed to CONFIGURE_ARGS if
GNU_CONFIGURE is defined. Take the target out of CONFIGURE_ARGS of
some ports that added it explicitly; define it as
${MACHINE_ARCH}--freebsd if the port doesn't like the ${OSREL} part;
define it as something else (such as ${MACHINE_ARCH}--freebsdelf if
the port requires that; define it as an empty string if the port
doesn't like it at all.
The last might be a sign that a GNU_CONFIGURE port actually doesn't
use GNU's version of configure at all; but I don't have time to go
look at them all, we'll fix them as time goes on.
At least we've got much fewer "-unknown-"s in the tree as the result. :)
