Kai Knoblich 4a18853238 audio/supercollider: Update to 3.10.2
The previous version, 3.9.3, built fine on all FreeBSD releases but the port
itself was less of use in its state because SuperCollider's own interpreter
("sclang") always crashed when indexing various help files. So users were
able to start the graphical IDE ("scide") but were then on their own to get
any use out of it.

The update to 3.10.2 fixes that problem but it comes with some drawbacks:
SuperCollider has shipped Boost libraries of the 1.66 release and those
don't compile with Clang 8. Using the Boost libraries from the ports tree
instead won't work either, as the 3.10.2 release of SuperCollider isn't
compatible with that version, yet.

Switching to GCC also won't work - it builds fine on all releases but
produces broken binaries that segfaults upon invocation. Thus exclude the
build for FreeBSD releases that comes with Clang 8 for a while and revise
the situation when a new release of SuperCollider is available.

Also pass the maintainership to the submitter because the previous
maintainer seems missing in action and there were already more than three
consecutive maintainer timeouts.

SuperCollider is a programming language for real time audio synthesis
and algorithmic composition.
The language interpreter runs in a cross platform IDE and communicates
via Open Sound Control with one or more synthesis servers. The
SuperCollider synthesis server runs in a separate process or even on a
separate machine so it is ideal for realtime networked music.
SuperCollider was developed by James McCartney and originally released
in 1996. He released it under the terms of the GNU General Public
License in 2002 when he joined the Apple Core Audio team. It is now
maintained and developed by an active and enthusiastic community. It
is used by musicians, scientists, and artists working with sound.
