Alex Dupre 77d80f066b - Add automatic pkg-plist generation
- Remove NO_PACKAGE (for the above reason)
- Add NO_BUILD
- Various fixes (also for portlint)

This commit doesn't change which files are installed and where
(the port is still not PREFIX clean).

This port is an emulation layer to port linux device drivers to FreeBSD,
mostly oriented to USB device drivers where FreeBSD support is weaker.
It contains:
- a set of headers with declarations for entities used in the Linux kernel;
- a compatibility library (in source form) mapping [part of] the linux kernel
APIs to equivalent FreeBSD APIs;
- a template for character device drivers.
Ideally, the porting of a linux driver should be as simple as downloading
the linux driver sources, writing a simple Makefile.kmod, and running
"make -f Makefile.kld" to produce your driver.ko.
