Alexey Dokuchaev 846e3c5e54 - Resurrect, undeprecate, and update to the most recent version, 0.4.1
- Since most patches were integrated upstream, rebase remaining two to our
  standards and drop custom PATCH_STRIP
- Define LICENSE (GPLv3), augment OPTIONS
- Reduce number of local hacks (Mandriva legacy)
- Add some missing X.org components to USE_XORG
- Rearrange MAN1 entries so they occupy fewer lines
- Do not pass CPPFLAGS and LDFLAGS to CONFIGURE_ENV explicitly (not needed
  since PR ports/157936)
- Utilize USE_GNOME=gnomehack, sort USE_* knobs, etc.
- Augment port description (include more text from upstream)

Feature safe:	yes

Metisse is an experimental X desktop with neat OpenGL features. It consists
of a virtual X server called Xmetisse, a special version of FVWM, and a FVWM
module FvwmCompositor.
Metisse was designed with two goals in mind. First, it should make it easy
for HCI researchers to design and implement innovative window management
techniques. Second, it should conform to existing standards and be robust
and efficient enough to be used on a daily basis, making a suitable platform
for the evaluation of the proposed techniques.
