Rodrigo Osorio f07c0a40b0 New port: multimedia/makemkv a CLI video converter from DVD
This port is CLI only and leaves out the MakeMKV GUI, because
makemkvcon (closed source Linux binary) won't run in guiserver
mode.

Also, as described in the pkg-message, it requires a custom
FreeBSD kernel with the Linux SCSI generic drivers and has to
be build by the final user to comply with the license terms.

Work is ongoing with the author to have a FreeBSD native version
of this port in the future.

This port doesn't include the MakeMKV GUI as it doesn't work on FreeBSD.
To enable makemkvcon to find a drive on FreeBSD, a part of Linux' sysfs must
be faked. The included script `update-makemkv-drives' creates these faked
sysfs entries and is run automatically after installation. If your hardware
configuration changes, make sure to re-run `update-makemkv-drives'.
If makemkvcon refuses to work as root, check the permissions of
/compat/linux/tmp -- it should be world-writable and sticky. To set these
permissions, use the command
chmod 1777 /compat/linux/tmp
