Rename this ports to use the real vendor package name. The advantage of this
is to allow our users' keyword search works and easier for users to file the
Bugzilla report when they use our name of ports. Debian, Gentoo, NetBSD and

that the ports are obsolete and should be deleted.
In each of these cases, the port has been in trouble for quite some time.
The deprecation date is set for April 09, 2004, except for a very few
ports that are in really bad shape (or the maintainer has recommended
deletion), in which case they are set for March 09, 2004.
If anyone wants to keep these ports in the ports collection, now is
the time to step up and fix them.

inclusive w.r.t actually using *_CFLAGS generated by various test programs
called from its own configure script. Added a patch to fix this.
- (It's also not very good about using generated *_LIBS, which may cause
future problems.)
- No PORTREVISION bump; this is a build-time problem.
