to address issues with NetBSD-6(and earlier)'s fontconfig not being
new enough for pango.
While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
Also bump PKGREVISION for a few packages using it.
The packages I did this for:
net/yaz
lang/parrot
misc/openoffice3 (where I noticed the run-time failure due to missing shared library)
www/webkit-gtk
sysutils/open-vm-tools
inputmethod/ibus-qt
I didn't do this recursively or for all packages using icu
since I didn't know if they used the shared library directly,
some use was optional. The list of packages I didn't touch:
devel/devhelp
databases/idzebra
databases/sqlite3
devel/gnustep-base/
finance/gnucash
games/openttd
graphics/shotwell
lang/mono
meta-pkgs/boost
misc/calibre
misc/libreoffice
news/tin
textproc/php-intl
www/deforaos-surfer
www/epiphany
www/liferea-current
www/midori
(missed those and *emacs* the first time round because they pull
in their png dependencies via default-on options; they were included
in the test bulk build though)
Shared directories can now be created independently by the pacakges
needing them and will be removed automatically by pkg_delete when empty.
Packages needing empty directories can use the @pkgdir command in PLIST.

Packages Collection.
The Open Virtual Machine Tools (open-vm-tools) are the open source
implementation of VMware Tools. They are a set of guest operating
system virtualization components that enhance performance and user
experience of virtual machines. As virtualization technology rapidly
becomes mainstream, each virtualization solution provider implements
their own set of tools and utilities to supplement the guest virtual
machine. However, most of the implementations are proprietary and are
tied to a specific virtualization platform.
The tools are currently composed of kernel modules for Linux and
user-space programs for all VMware supported Unix-like guest operating
systems. They provide several useful functions like:
* File transfer between a host and guest
* Improved memory management and network performance under
virtualization
* General mechanisms and protocols for communication between host
and guests and from guest to guest
