in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".

by moving the inclusion of buildlink3.mk files outside of the protected
region. This bug would be seen by users that have set PREFER_PKGSRC
or PREFER_NATIVE to non-default values.
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES should be ordered so that for any package in the
list, that package doesn't depend on any packages to the left of it
in the list. This ordering property is used to check for builtin
packages in the correct order. The problem was that including a
buildlink3.mk file for <pkg> correctly ensured that <pkg> was removed
from BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and appended to the end. However, since the
inclusion of any other buildlink3.mk files within that buildlink3.mk
was in a region that was protected against multiple inclusion, those
dependencies weren't also moved to the end of BUILDLINK_PACKAGES.

2.6.0: Oct 20 2003:
- Major revision release: should be API and ABI compatible but got a lot
of change
- Increased the library modularity, far more options can be stripped out,
a --with-minimum configuration will weight around 160KBytes
- Use per parser and per document dictionnary, allocate names and small
text nodes from the dictionnary
- Switch to a SAX2 like parser rewrote most of the XML parser core,
provides namespace resolution and defaulted attributes, minimize memory
allocations and copies, namespace checking and specific error handling,
immutable buffers, make predefined entities static structures, etc...
- rewrote all the error handling in the library, all errors can be
intercepted at a structured level, with precise information
available.
- New simpler and more generic XML and HTML parser APIs, allowing to
easilly modify the parsing options and reuse parser context for multiple
consecutive documents.
- Similar new APIs for the xmlReader, for options and reuse, provided new
functions to access content as const strings, use them for Python
bindings
- a lot of other smaller API improvements: xmlStrPrintf (Aleksey Sanin),
Walker i.e. reader on a document tree based on Alfred Mickautsch code,
make room in nodes for line numbers, reference counting and future PSVI
extensions, generation of character ranges to be checked with faster
algorithm (William), xmlParserMaxDepth (Crutcher Dunnavant), buffer
access
for some optional internal locking), and this library needs to be usable
by nonthreaded programs too, like php4-domxml
bump PKGREVISION for this; buildlink not changed, since library users
generally don't care about this
