convmv is meant to help convert a single filename, a directory tree and the
contained files or a whole filesystem into a different encoding. It just
converts the filenames, not the content of the files. A special feature of
convmv is that it also takes care of symlinks, also converts the symlink target
pointer in case the symlink target is being converted, too.
All this comes in very handy when one wants to switch over from old 8-bit
locales to UTF-8 locales. It is also possible to convert directories to UTF-8
which are already partly UTF-8 encoded. convmv is able to detect if certain
files are UTF-8 encoded and will skip them by default. To turn this smartness
off use the --nosmart switch.

MIME headers of e-mail messages
Categories: converters textproc russian ukrainian
Fix-mime-charset automatically detects character sets of
email message and modifies the Content-Type header
appropriately. It can be used as mail filter in mailing
lists where users often set the charset of their messages
incorrectly. It processes messages fast and accurately,
ignoring attachments, and correctly interprets transfer-encodings.
None but the Content-Type header is changed.

Shftool is the reference implementation for the new,
XML-based Standard Hex Format (SHF).
Shftool is also a working converter/generator/extractor
between/to/of SHF-files and other hex formats.
SHF is specified in the the following Internet Draft:

Konwert is a package for conversion between various character encodings.
By encodings author imply not only different charsets like Windows-1252,
KOI8-R or UTF-8 but also the different representations of characters like
TeX escaping, quoted-printable and even RFC 1345 mnemonics. The autodetect
of the encodings is also implemented.
There are also filter filterm which allow to make separate input and output
conversions of the encodings for the given command. It can help e.g. when
our terminal is unable to display non-ASCII characters or to enter them
from the keyboard.

which probably isn't supposed to be removed is misc/instant-workstation,
which had a dependency on audio/xamp (being removed), so I removed that
dependency and bumped PORTREVISION. All other ports are real dependents
upon Qt 1.x, including KDE 1.x stuff.
Code in bsd.kde.mk supporting these ports is also removed or adjusted.
Also, some adjustments made to accomodate Qt3/KDE3 ports, which will be
committed Real Soon Now (TM), pending repo-copies.
This commit made in impending view of Qt3/KDE3 entering ports tree.
