Several changes are involved since they are all interrelated. These
changes affect about 1000 files.
The first major change is rewriting bsd.builtin.mk as well as all of
the builtin.mk files to follow the new example in bsd.builtin.mk.
The loop to include all of the builtin.mk files needed by the package
is moved from bsd.builtin.mk and into bsd.buildlink3.mk. bsd.builtin.mk
is now included by each of the individual builtin.mk files and provides
some common logic for all of the builtin.mk files. Currently, this
includes the computation for whether the native or pkgsrc version of
the package is preferred. This causes USE_BUILTIN.* to be correctly
set when one builtin.mk file includes another.
The second major change is teach the builtin.mk files to consider
files under ${LOCALBASE} to be from pkgsrc-controlled packages. Most
of the builtin.mk files test for the presence of built-in software by
checking for the existence of certain files, e.g. <pthread.h>, and we
now assume that if that file is under ${LOCALBASE}, then it must be
from pkgsrc. This modification is a nod toward LOCALBASE=/usr. The
exceptions to this new check are the X11 distribution packages, which
are handled specially as noted below.
The third major change is providing builtin.mk and version.mk files
for each of the X11 distribution packages in pkgsrc. The builtin.mk
file can detect whether the native X11 distribution is the same as
the one provided by pkgsrc, and the version.mk file computes the
version of the X11 distribution package, whether it's built-in or not.
The fourth major change is that the buildlink3.mk files for X11 packages
that install parts which are part of X11 distribution packages, e.g.
Xpm, Xcursor, etc., now use imake to query the X11 distribution for
whether the software is already provided by the X11 distribution.
This is more accurate than grepping for a symbol name in the imake
config files. Using imake required sprinkling various builtin-imake.mk
helper files into pkgsrc directories. These files are used as input
to imake since imake can't use stdin for that purpose.
The fifth major change is in how packages note that they use X11.
Instead of setting USE_X11, package Makefiles should now include
x11.buildlink3.mk instead. This causes the X11 package buildlink3
and builtin logic to be executed at the correct place for buildlink3.mk
and builtin.mk files that previously set USE_X11, and fixes packages
that relied on buildlink3.mk files to implicitly note that X11 is
needed. Package buildlink3.mk should also include x11.buildlink3.mk
when linking against the package libraries requires also linking
against the X11 libraries. Where it was obvious, redundant inclusions
of x11.buildlink3.mk have been removed.

Bump PKGREVISION and BUILDLINK_DEPENDS of all packages using libtool and
installing .la files.
Bump PKGREVISION (only) of all packages depending directly on the above
via a buildlink3 include.
All library names listed by *.la files no longer need to be listed
in the PLIST, e.g., instead of:
lib/libfoo.a
lib/libfoo.la
lib/libfoo.so
lib/libfoo.so.0
lib/libfoo.so.0.1
one simply needs:
lib/libfoo.la
and bsd.pkg.mk will automatically ensure that the additional library
names are listed in the installed package +CONTENTS file.
Also make LIBTOOLIZE_PLIST default to "yes".
as otherwise the awk invocation in libtool breaks complaining about
the ``Input record [...] too long'' near the end of the build process.
(Oddly this does not occur using the mipspro compiler.)

Also, the build which uses newer freetype includes

GTK+-2.4 adds significant new functionality while maintaining
source and binary compatibility with GTK+-2.2. Highlights
of new features and improvements in GTK+-2.4 are:
New file selector widget
The new GtkFileChooser widgets provide a radically simplified
and improved way for users to select files. Capabilities such as
customizable filters and previews are now available for
application writers. The filesystem access is encapsulated as a
dynamically loaded module; as an example of what this allows,
libgnomeui now provides a gnome-vfs backend for GtkFileChooser
so that it has the same view of remote filesystems as
applications such Nautilus.
New drop-down selection widget
The GtkComboBox widget replaces the old GtkOptionMenu and
GtkCombo widgets with a single unified appearance
and programming interface for both editable and non-editable
dropdowns. Other enhancements provided include customizability
of the main display widget and grid layouts for the drop-down
menu.
Action-based toolbar and menu API
GtkUIManager allows the application to specify a set of
"actions", then create menus and toolbars using those actions
from an XML-like interface description. This separation makes it
easier to coordinate having the same item both in a menu and in
a toolbar and simplifies the implementation of toolbar editing.
Bidirectional editing and interface flipping improvements
GTK+ now automatically determines the base direction for
label and text-entry widgets based on their contents, rather
than requiring it to be specified by the application; this
gives a much better user experience when editing mixed
right-to-left and left-to-right text. Support for user-interface
mirroring in right-to-left locales has now been extended to
cover virtually all widgets.
Other enhancements:
- The GtkTreeModelFilter tree model allows displaying a
filtered view of another tree model
- GtkTreeView now supports a fixed-height-mode for faster
display.
- GtkToolbar has been reworked to provide a more consistent
and extensible programming interface along with new features
such as an overflow menu and animated editing feedback.
- GtkEntry now supports completion dropdowns.
- Named icons via the freedesktop.org icon theme specification
are now supported.
- gdk-pixbuf improvements include a PCX loader and saving
support for the ICO and CUR formats.
- Round trips to the X server at application startup and
during operations such as drag-and-drop have been
greatly reduced.
