Avoid name clash between release-mode and debug-mode libraries so that
"libqcaddxf.so" is not rejected by the plugin loader.
Patch from John D. Baker via pkgsrc-users.
It's using the same script bindings for every Qt version past 5.5.0,
so the version check isn't actually necessary at this point. Just pretend
to be 5.5.0 and install those bindings.
While here, install icons and avoid installing .gitignore files.
Bump PKGREVISION.

Performing substitutions during post-patch breaks tools such as mkpatches,
making it very difficult to regenerate correct patches after making changes,
and often leading to substituted string replacements being committed.

rather than a private copy

Also as part of this update, I have removed the example plugins that do nothing (as
on the QCAD forum, the author states that these may slow down the operation)
QCAD has been largely rewritten since the previous version
(QCAD 2) was updated in pkgsrc, meaning that the changes are
vast. From the authors website:
QCAD 3 comes with a new and improved CAD engine which improves
performance (spatial index) and allows for advanced property
editing and future extensions (dynamic properties). The other
major addition is a powerful and complete ECMAScript interface.
New interactive tools can be developed with a few lines of
ECMAScript but even entire new applications can be developed
using QCAD technology. QCAD 3 is also the first QCAD version
that fully supports the DWG format as well as various different
versions of the DXF format.
The complete ChangeLog is at http://www.qcad.org/en/changelog
Problems found with existing distfile for eagle:
distfiles/eagle-lin32-7.4.0.run
No changes made to eagle/distinfo file.
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.
