While here, switch NetBSD build from sunaudio to OSS emulation.
This greatly improves HTML5 video playback.
(Yes, we ought to fix the busted sunaudio support or PKG_OPTIONalize this.
Perhaps another day.)

left disabled by default. Correct me if I'm wrong but it feels like
most pkgsrc users don't use gnome. If someone can comment on the
benefits of these dependencies in the GNOME environment, speak up.
Firefox 3.5 is based on the Gecko 1.9.1 rendering platform.
Firefox 3.5 offers many changes over the previous version, supporting new web
technologies, improving performance and ease of use.
Some of the notable features are:
* Support for the HTML5 <video> and <audio> elements
* Improved tools for controlling your private data
* Better web application performance using the new TraceMonkey JavaScript engine
* The ability to share your location with websites using Location Aware Browsing
* Support for native JSON, and web worker threads.
* Improvements to the Gecko layout engine, including speculative parsing for
faster content rendering.
* Support for new web technologies such as: downloadable fonts, CSS media
queries, new transformations and properties, JavaScript query selectors,
HTML5 local storage and offline application storage, <canvas> text,
ICC profiles, and SVG transforms.
(I opted for removing and re-importing instead of a plain update due to
extensive patch rototil)
We may encounter minor turbulence as dependent packages are sorted out.
Thank you for flying pkgsrc-current.
This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
