- Remove excessive patching, which also broke loading of swt libraries.
- Add temporary patch to fix crash, when swt tries to load *.css files which
are not shipped with the tarball.

libgnuregex has been removed in FreeBSD 13.0. The version in base had a
number of known or likely bugs associated with it, so just use the newer
and more stable port on all supported FreeBSD versions.

Tuesday, 5 January 2021.
Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 5, versioned 5.20.5. Plasma
5.20 was released in October with many feature refinements and new modules to
complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a month’s worth of new translations and fixes from KDE’s
contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and include:
* Plasma NM: Fix password entry jumping to different networks with wifi scanning, by pausing the scan when appropriate.
* Plasma PA: Read text color from proper theme.
* Plasma Workspace: Move keyboard positioning in the keyboard itself.
Announcement:
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.20.5/
Upstream announce: https://xfce.org/about/news/?post=1608595200
This XFCE release dropped support for GTK2 plugins and also dropped
GTK2 from all components.
WARNING: please check UPDATING before upgrading your packages. In
case of problems also read the libexo pkg-message.
Due to this some panel plugins and libraries will be removed since
they cannot compile anymore:
- print/xfce4-print
- x11/xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin
- x11/xfce4-wmdock-plugin
- x11-toolkits/libxfce4gui
These further components also fail to build or work and are being
marked BROKEN, deprecated and marked for removal:
- science/xfce4-equake-plugin
- x11/xfce4-embed-plugin
- deskutils/orage
- deskutils/xfce4-volumed [1]
deskutils/xfce4-notes-plugin will be also marked BROKEN, but there
is active development in it's upstream repository and a fixed release
is expected soon.
deskutils/xfce4-generic-slider will also be marked broken, since
it fails to compile. [2]

Differential Revision: https://reviews.freebsd.org/D27846
Since r558913 Python 3.8 incorporates BPO-42604 [1] which changed the
shared libs naming scheme. This means "EXT_SUFFIX" is now derived from
SOABI and yields with Python 3.8 to ".cpython-38.so" instead of ".so".
The affected ports strip the libaries in the "post-install" target via
hardcoded path(s) and the build fails at the end because the new extension
is not expected at this place.
Remedy the issue by adding wildcards to these paths. This should also
prepare the ports for future Python releases, which will use the new shared
libs naming scheme.
