By default, Coin is installed on Darwin as a framework, which is a completely
different file layout incompatible with pkgsrc. Add a configure argument to
prevent this and select a standard layout compatible with pkgsrc.
The option --enable-pthreads was unknown, as a build with
GNU_CONFIGURE_STRICT=yes showed. Fixing the typo showed exactly the same
configure output as before, which is probably due to the autodetection.
* Update buildlink3.mk.
* Restrict hack.mk for GCC 3.* only.
* Set LICENSE.

While doing that, also bump freetype2 dependency to current pkgsrc
version.
Suggested by tron in PR 47882
developer is officially maintaining the package.
The rationale for changing this from "tech-pkg" to "pkgsrc-users" is
that it implies that any user can try to maintain the package (by
submitting patches to the mailing list). Since the folks most likely
to care about the package are the folks that want to use it or are
already using it, this would leverage the energy of users who aren't
developers.
rather than PKG_FAIL_REASON, so that they provide useful error
messages in build logs, and so that they continue to work on platforms
where they aren't broken.
Some of the changes since 2.2.0:
- further improvements to SoOffscreenRenderer performance
- SoRayPickAction precision improvements
- Visual Studio project now installs only selected build (including
static configurations now)
- misc minor details, build fixes, documentation updates
- Support for compressed textures
- Windows: build settings are easier tunable from the Visual Studio
projects (edit include/setup.h), and also includes static library
build options now
- reference doc improvements with file format examples and defaults
sections for all scene objects.
- completely Cygwin-less build setup for MS Windows / Visual Studio:
- Visual Studio 6 project file in build/msvc6/
- Visual Studio .NET 2003 solution in build/msvc7/
- some minor API additions for internal optimization purposes
- new node SoTextureCombine (for multi-texturing)
- new texture coordinate mapping nodes SoTextureCoordinateCube,
SoTextureCoordinateCylinder, and SoTextureCoordinateSphere
- vertex buffer objects support
- correct "sorted layers blend" transparency mode
- improved thread safety
Coin is an implementation of the Open Inventor API, fully backwards
compatible with SGI Open Inventor v2.1, and incorporating many new
features. Coin is portable across Win32, Linux, SGI IRIX, Mac OS X,
HP-UX, Sun Solaris, IBM AIX, and other platforms (like NetBSD :-).
