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:

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.

USE_MOTIF and generates a LIB_DEPENDS to x11-toolkits/open-motif. As
before, it implies USE_XPM (and therefore USE_XLIB). Motif-dummy is
removed from PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS, whose sole resident is now XFree86-3.
Most of the simple ".if defined(HAVE_MOTIF)"s are removed to always
have USE_MOTIF. ftp/moxftp will define USE_MOTIF unless
WANT_ATHENA_VERSION (new variable) is defined. I merged the X cases
in cad/mars, so USE_MOTIF is used iff WITHOUT_X11 is not defined.
I will remove x11-toolkits/Motif-dummy (which has been repo copied to
open-motif) in a few days.

By the way, I see that this ports uses HAVE_MOTIF to turn on Motif
support, but I don't see any patches. Does this port follow our
guidelines for Motif support (MOTIFLIB and all)? In particular,
what happens if you build a package on a machine with HAVE_MOTIF
and MOTIF_STATIC defined if you have both shared and static libXm?
