Quick guide for compiling packages:
- set KERBEROS=4 or KERBEROS=5 in /etc/mk.conf
Quick guide for configuring Kerberos support in a package Makefile:
- test for KERBEROS value and enable the appropriate version with
CONFIGURE_ARGS or other means and set USE_KERBEROS=yes
- make sure to disable Kerberos support otherwise (especially if
using configure, which might automatically detect it)
- BUILD_DEFS and RESTRICTED are set automatically in bsd.pkg.mk

accepting multiple writes; thanks to Kevin Turner <kevin.turner@oberlin.edu>.
Warning: CompuServe changed their POP3 system on 31 July 1999. In doing
so, they broke fetchmail's RPA support. Nobody has sent me either code that
works with the new system or a spec for it yet.

- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
