Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.

have it be automatically included by bsd.pkg.mk if USE_PKGINSTALL is set
to "YES". This enforces the requirement that bsd.pkg.install.mk be
included at the end of a package Makefile. Idea suggested by Julio M.
Merino Vidal <jmmv at menta.net>.
foo-* to foo-[0-9]*. This is to cause the dependencies to match only the
packages whose base package name is "foo", and not those named "foo-bar".
A concrete example is p5-Net-* matching p5-Net-DNS as well as p5-Net. Also
change dependency examples in Packages.txt to reflect this.

devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).
Patch by Alistair Crooks <agc@netbsd.org>
Notable changes include:
- An old signal handling bug has been fixed. It sometimes caused an
eternal loop of "Killed by signal x" - "Resetting modem" - "Killed
by signal y" when minicom was aborted unexpectedly, and then it could
only be killed with kill -9 (SIGKILL).
- Now there is also a setting in the Bps/par/bits section of the Serial
port setup menu to use two stop bits.
- Some patches for SVR4 lock file handling.
- Fixed some compilation errors when -D_HAVE_MACROS is not defined
in the makefile.
- possible overflows fixed in inputting the manual dialing string and
search string in the phone dir.
- user-configurable options to disable writing the logfile or select
which things to write there
- the command line option -d now accepts multiple numbers or names as
the parameter. Separate them with commas and use no spaces around it.
- a fix for the script timeout command that sometimes didn't work right.
- now you can move an entry up/down in the phone directory.
- flag %f added to the upload/download protocol program command lines to
allow passing the port file descriptor to c-kermit
- support for DTE speed 230400 bps
- newline delay option added in the terminal settings
- multiline option added to untag all phonedir entries with the same name
when one of them answers
