Changes to the software:
* Several new little screensavers (hacks)
* Updates to many others
* Better GTK/Gnome 2 support
* New man pages for things that didn't have them
Changes to the port:
* Removed ill-advised, unapproved, and inappropriate changes
from previous commits. Things like webcollage-helper are created
dynamically by configure, and will be accounted for at some point
in the future. Meanwhile, having one extra item for a few people
is better than one two few for others.
* One more port goes over to the GMAKE darkside
* Since there are so many new man pages, re-sort them all
* Updated pkg-plist for the new stuff
* One of my patches was included in the distribution, so
shorten patch-ab
* Take advantage of the fact that I have to regenerate the
other patch anyway, and fix the name of the patch file
* Fixes perl incompatibility problem with RELENG_4
* Fixes some memory leaks
* Adds two new hacks, and two new BSOD's
* Improves some existing hacks/features
assortment of bugs fixed. The author has incorporated several of
our patches, so I can reduce or eliminate them. However, I had
to add one small patch to get -lcompat into one of the new
screensavers.
In addition to the upgrade, I'm also reverting most of the recent
gnome changes in favor of forcing the xml files into one location
regardless of gnome/not gnome. I think long term this will be
a better strategy.
1. Redesigned -demo GUI (nice, except see below).
2. New modes of operation; one saver, blank/don't blank.
3. New hacks (screen saver modules).
4. Improved or fixed several other hacks.
5. Improved xinerama compatibility.
See http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/changelog.html for details.
* Sadly, the new GUI relies on xml, so that's now a dependency.
* I moved the various hack files and their xml config files into
their own directories.
* Fixed the poorly done hack in the Makefile to s/malloc.h/stdlib.h/
* Removed a patch hunk that's no longer needed.
* Added a fix for the new configure script's failure to recognize the
option to put the xml files in their own directories. (Already contacted author)
* Correct something I didn't catch when I took over the port... if we want
the -demo program to handle settings, GTK isn't optional.
* Add a patch that handles an overly enthusiastic attempt to avoid bzero
(which one of the hacks actually uses).
lib gives us one new screensaver, which is really a combination of several
objects that get twisted and re-shaped. The update adds two new screensavers,
and several improvements to existing ones. Also added is a memory limit
parameter, and some more gnome integration.
patch-ac is removed due to its being integrated into the source.
The suggestion to add the GLE lib comes from the PR. I'm not sure that the
cost::benefit justifies it, but the library is small so probably no harm done.

has been periodically maintained by others for 9 months in any case.
* Upgrade 3.26 -> 3.29
* Specify full path to fortune, since many of the screen saver programs
could not find it on their own.
* Fix the -lpthread -> -pthread problem.
* Re-generate patch files.
* Eliminate patch-ae, whose only purpose in life was to prevent the
building and installation of the xscreensaver-demo program which, in
addition to being the method used to configure the server and
all the little screensaver programs; works just fine, and doesn't
actually hurt anything.
The report in the PR is a little out of date with reference to the latest
xscreensaver version, but all parts of the thing are working for me now
in any case.
