(bug fixes)
Based on discussions with upstream, it is recommended but not
required. gpsbabel requires qt4 now and is about to require qt5,
which makes it very large.
Upstream no longer builds documentation by default. Don't enable it,
because then the build fails because it assumes mapnik is present.
Note that C++11 is now required by upstream, at least if mapnik is
included. For now, just add C++ to languages.
Add patch to remediate new bashisms.

One mismatched digest found in geography/libmemphis02:
# package libmemphis02
recorded SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = dbc2f61e49b996dc9ca91df0de9a08eb7adbfa9b
calculated SHA1 (memphis-0.2.3.tar.gz) = 85993bce12c3616fcf6e7682a70b9605883edec2
No changes were made to the libmemphis02 distinfo file
Otherwise, existing SHA1 digests verified and found to be the same on
the machine holding the existing distfiles (morden). All existing
SHA1 digests retained for now as an audit trail.
Disable the new mapnik option, in order to separate the upgrade work
from the mapnik work, not because it's undesirable.
