Pkgsrc changes:

${PREFIX}/share/doc/${PKGBASE}. Also, generate the documentation
PLIST entries dynamically since those files are generated from SGML,
and their names can change quite a bit from release to release.
Bump the PKGREVISION to 3.
Discussed with maintainer and tech-pkg in November. (I don't use
this software myself, but initially looked at this to fix the manual
page installation.)
Get rid of BUILDLINK_PASSTHRU_DIRS as not needed now.
Bump PKGREVISION.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.freetds removed. And BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.freetds
set to this new version.
TODO: allow threadsafe on platforms that support it.
be built with standard settings in /etc/mk.conf, and fixes a problem
in the bulk build results.
In short: install the manual pages into freetds/man/man1 (the rest of
the files in this package have a prefix directory of ${PREFIX}/freetds)
Main changes since 0.61 besides general bug fixes:
* BCP support for db-lib and ct-lib
* many ODBC fixes
* added support for TDS 8.0
* iconv changes (better collation, improve error reporting)
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".
