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

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.
Light blue touch-paper. Run.
Note: this is still version 0.8.2, but not exactly the previous one.
The author's web host disappeared one day, taking all his files and
databases with it. This new tarball has been produced by the author
from his CVS, specially for FreeBSD ports: thanks to him!
