Alejandro Pulver cf9758e30f - Bump PORTREVISION.
- Remove FreeBSD 4.x code (USE_GCC=3.4+, USE_GETOPT_LONG and BROKEN).
- Use ARCH instead of MACHINE_ARCH for possible future cross-compilation
  support.
- Add UBLIO option, which uses devel/libublio for greatly improved speed (when
  reading an NTFS volume). Also print a warning when disabling UBLIO.
- Add pkg-message mentioning UBLIO and this port's limitations.
- Change mount.ntfs-fuse -> mount_ntfs-fuse manpage link and symlink to the
  binary in /usr/sbin to allow using with 'mount -t ntfs-fuse' and in
  /etc/fstab after mounting /usr.
- Add a note in pkg-descr about the fusefs driver and ntfs-3g split project.
- Add LOCK option to avoid access to the device while it's mounted.

The goals of this project are: create a new Linux kernel driver for the NTFS
file system (v1.2 and later 3.0), user space utilities (e.g. format, ntfs
check, etc.) and a library to avoid code duplication and provide access to
NTFS to other GPLed programs.
It includes a read-only fusefs driver to mount NTFS volumes, but a read-write
version exists in sysutils/fusefs-ntfs. They can be installed simultaneously.
