on some platforms that lacked shared library support in the past. The
list hasn't been maintained at all and the gain is very limited, so just
get rid of it.
Major changes include full Unicode supoprt, better support for Asian
languages, support for JPEG CMYK images, links in Platypus, better
wrapping, barcode support, better support for legends of graphics and
many more.
Addtional changes in pkgsrc include the merge of py-reportlab-renderPM
package and use of external libart.
changes:
-can run out of a Python 2.3 zip archive
-some fixes and feature additions
[pkgsrc] this distfile doesn't trigger the pax-as-tar bug, so remove
the build dependency on GNU tar
in the process. (More information on tech-pkg.)
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.

extension Makefile fragments, because they really don't have anything to
do with the buildlink[12] frameworks. Change all the Makefiles that use
application.buildlink.mk and extension.buildlink.mk to use application.mk
and extension.mk instead.
