LOCALBASE to find krb5-config in the MIT case.
Prodded by: Our friendly folks at the ISC who want to use FreeBSD's
PostgreSQL ports instead of an unmanaged build from a tarball.
MASTERDIR/Makefile[1]. Improve the CONFLICTS messages[2]. Fix the DEPENDS
so that MIT krb5 depends on security/krb5, not heimdal[3]. Add a file that
was missing in the upgrade that has PostgreSQL log to syslog by default[4].

The following buffer overruns have been identified and
addressed [in 7.2.2]:
* in handling long datetime input
* in repeat()
* in lpad() and rpad() with multibyte
* in SET TIME ZONE and TZ env var
- switch devel/gettext (0.11.1) on, installing full package
- flip devel/gettext-old (0.10.35) to installing only static binaries
with a "-old" suffix -- gettext-old will have its deorbit burn
sequence initiated just after 4.6-RELEASE
- fix up ports for the new world order

The dynamic determination of LIB_DEPENDS in configure.postgresql

to make dependencies work.
Call the script pre-fetch and include Makefile.inc AFTER it has been
created.
Reported by: Disturbed FreeBSD newbie who couldn't figure out
why this didn't work as expected.
* Move the call to configure.postgresql7 from pre-fetch to pre-extract, so it
won't hang while performing batch fetch operations (like portupgrade -F)
* Add some TCL related files to pkg-plist.tcl, and add a PLIST_SUB in the
Makefile to register the correct tcl version in the plist.
* Do not start postgresql if the database directory does not exist: the
startup sequence could hang because of this.
* Use the "-s" option when starting postgresql with pg_ctl, so it won't
display informational messages. Display only the port name, as do other
packages startup scripts.
