Problems found locating distfiles:

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.
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.

libXext/buildlink3.mk, now that it is included there.
Leave the places where its API version is set or variables from it
are used directly (about 3 packages).
New in the 0.9.13 x11vnc release:
Improved support for non-X11 touchscreen devices (e.g. handheld or
cell phone) via Linux uinput input injection. Additional
tuning parameters are added. TSLIB touchscreen calibration
is supported. Tested on Qtmoko Neo Freerunner.
A tool, misc/uinput.pl, is provided to diagnose uinput
behavior on new devices.
The env. vars. X11VNC_UINPUT_BUS and X11VNC_UINPUT_VERSION
are available if leaving them unset does not work.
The Linux uinput non-X11 input injection can now be bypassed:
events can be directly written to the /dev/input/event
devices specified by the user (direct_abs=..., etc.)
A -pipeinput input injection helper script,
misc/qt_tslib_inject.pl is provided as a tweakable
non-builtin direct input injection method.
The list of new uinput parameters for the above two features is:
pressure, tslib_cal, touch_always, dragskip, btn_touch;
direct_rel, direct_abs, direct_btn, direct_key.
The included SSL enabled Java VNC Viewers now handle Mouse
Wheel events.
miscellaneous new features and changes:
In -reflect mode, the libvncclient connection can now have
the pixel format modified via the environment
variables X11VNC_REFLECT_bitsPerSample,
X11VNC_REFLECT_samplesPerPixel, and
X11VNC_REFLECT_bytesPerPixel
In -create mode the following environment variables are added
to fine tune the behavior: FIND_DISPLAY_NO_LSOF:
do not use lsof(1) to try to determine the Linux VT,
FIND_DISPLAY_NO_VT_FIND: do not try to determine the
Linux VT at all, X11VNC_CREATE_LC_ALL_C_OK: do not bother
undoing the setting LC_ALL=C that the create_display
script sets. The performance of the -create script
has been improved for large installations (100's of
user sessions on one machine.)
In -unixpw mode, one can now Tab from login: to Password.
An environment variable, X11VNC_SB_FACTOR, allows one to scale
the -sb screenblank sleep time from the default 2 secs.
In -rawfb mode, a bug is fixed in setting the number of bits
per pixel.
Documented that -grabkbd is no longer working with some/most
window managers (it can prevent resizing and menu posting.)
The macosx deprecated interface GetMainDevice() call is removed.
Compile with -DX11VNC_MACOSX_USE_GETMAINDEVICE if needed
for an old macosx version...
Miscellaneous code cleanup.
