in preparation for the split in base of libtinfo and libncurses, clearly
specify when the packages should link against.
Note this also fixes the build with ports ncurses
When ALSA is installed, some preprocessor-defines may have
overlapping values. This patch was proposed (I think) in the
PR mentioned, and then upstreamed.

This provides nice human-readable strings for devices in PA-
aware applications (e.g. Firefox shows something nicer than "pcm0").
This bumps PORTREVISION again, even though there's a sequence
of PA updates and fixes (which could conceivably be mashed into
a single PORTREVISION increase).

Switches to using GNU m4 (gm4) for processing PA configuration
files; regular m4 behaves oddly in some build situations.

The viewmanager.cpp/h file is missing an include for config-upnp-qt.h
which defines KF5KIO_FOUND. With this macro missing, it isn't building
the KIO stuff.

Big thank you to Florian Walpen <dev@submerge.ch> and

Previously, configure script was passing certain optimization options
by default; now it is protected by --enable-native switch which users
have to specify explicitly:
-C_FLAGS=$C_FLAGS" -O3 -ffast-math `/bin/sh ./build/opt.sh \"$CC\" -march=native`"
+C_FLAGS=$C_FLAGS" -O2"
Take one step further and replace -O2 with our default CFLAGS which are
essentially the same, but safer (https://blog.regehr.org/archives/1307).
We must, however, force -msse2 on i386 for the build to succeed there;
other architectures might or might not need similar treatment as well.

* Changed the default options for audio to ALSA
* Added databases/qt5-sqldrivers-sqlite3 as a LIB_DEPEND.
It'll be installed automatically if you use something like KDE,
but straberry will fail to load if you use a minimalist WM for example.
