Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.

Based on PR#41471 by Guillaume Lasmayous.
Pkgsrc changes:
* LICENSE=gnu-gpl-v2
* Use system libsexy.
* add option for support mac.
* add buildlink3.mk for plugins.
Added features
* Global copy/paste system
You can now copy songs from any song list and paste them in the play queue or
the playlist-editor. The copy-paste system can also be used to move block of
songs inside a playlist or between playlists.
* Easy Command
Easy command is a gnome-do like interface to gmpc. This allows you to quickly
add songs, play a certain songs or replace the play queue. More information .
* Windows Installer
There is now a nice easy to use installer for gmpc on windows. It installs
gmpc and all the needed gtk files, add menu option and uninstall program.
* Metadata Browser back/forward buttons
The metadata browser now has browser-like back/forward buttons, allowing
faster and easier navigation.
* Initial albumartist support
If mpd provides it, gmpc now can use the albumartist tag to fetch metadata
more reliably.
* Artist Image tooltip
For the users that use gmpc in collapsed mode, there is a nice tooltip showing
the artist image when hovering over the artist name in the player.
* Customizable quick links in metadata browser
Via the gmpc wiki, hyper links can easily be added to the links section of the
metadata browser. e.g. Wikipedia links are now included by default.
* Integrated search
The search browser now gives you access to the magnatune and jamendo database
as well (if plugins are installed). The search options also adjust to tags
that actually can be searched.
* Initial Sticker Support
MPD from git allows you to attach "stickers" to songs. GMPC can use this to
rate songs.
This is still very basic and will improve when stickers in mpd evolves.
* Server Information Page
The serverstats plugin is now integrated into gmpc. This provides several
statistics about your mpd database and configuration.
* Integrated favorites support
The favorites plugin is now integrated in the playlist-editor. Press ctrl-
enter to add the current playing song to the special "Favorites" playlist.

PKGLOCALEDIR and which install their locale files directly under
${PREFIX}/${PKGLOCALEDIR} and sort the PLIST file entries. From now
on, pkgsrc/mk/plist/plist-locale.awk will automatically handle
transforming the PLIST to refer to the correct locale directory.
