54a0b86543 Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
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.

Light blue touch-paper.  Run.

c7ca51e815 The RABL (pronounced "rabble") server is a statistical, machine-automated and
up-to-the-second blackhole list server designed to monitor global network
activity and make decisions based on network spread and infection rate -
that is, abuse from an address which has been reported by a number of
participating networks. This is in far contrast to how most other
blacklists function, where fallable humans (many with political agendas) must
process thousands of reports and make decisions - many times after the fact.
The RABL is fully reactive to new threats and can block addresses within
seconds of widespread infection - good to know in this world of drone PCs
and stolen accounts. The RABL server blacklists addresses until they have
cleared a minimum duration (an hour by default) without any additional
reporting, making the appeals process as simple as "fix your junk". The RABL
is designed to function via automated machine-learning spam filters, such as
Bayesian filters. Each participating network is granted write authentication
in the blackhole list, to prevent abuse. A client tool is also provided.
