BUILDLINK_PREFIX.<pkgname>. This allows buildlink to find X11BASE packages
regardless of whether they were installed before or after xpkgwedge was
installed. Idea by Alistair Crooks <agc@pkgsrc.org>.
FOO_REQD=1.0 being converted to foo>=1.0, one can now directly specify
the dependency pattern as FOO_DEPENDS=foo>=1.0. This allows things like
JPEG_DEPENDS=jpeg-6b, or fancier expressions like for postgresql-lib.
Change existing FOO_REQD definitions in Makefiles to FOO_DEPENDS.

"SZDD is a weak LZSS compressor, which was used by Microsoft for many years
in their installation software - all those files with a letter taken from
the end of their extension, eg HELLO.EX_
This package includes szddexpand which will decompress szdd files.
Be careful, szddexpand overwrites the original compressed file.
Do like so: szddexpand HELLO.EX_ && mv HELLO.EX_ HELLO.EXE
SZDD was replaced with 'KWAJ' in the 1996 Microsoft Setup Toolkit. This
package does not grok the undocumented 'KWAJ' format.
One day Johnathan Forbes decided to work for Microsoft, and sold them his
LZX compression technology. So now Microsoft uses LZX compression in their
installation archives, under the guise of "CAB" files."
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).

NuLib is a disk and file archive program, similar in principle to PKZIP.
Instead of ZIP archives, it manipulates NuFX archives, which are usually
identified with ".SHK", ".SDK", or ".BXY".
The ".SHK" file extension is derived from ShrinkIt, the de facto
archiving standard for Apple II computers.
