pkgsrc changes:
- Add patches/patch-src_os_pl-files.c to avoid overlapping `src'
and `dst' in srtcpy(3). It is an undefined behaviour and it leads to build
issue in swi-prolog-packages on platforms that uses SSP.
- readline dependency is no longer needed for swi-prolog-lite.
The readline functionality is now provided as a package via
swi-prolog-packages.
- Inject CFLAGS via COFLAGS and pass -fPIC via CMFLAGS so that
swi-prolog-jpl will link
- Add patches/patch-src_pl-rsort.c to use FreeBSD qsort_r(3)
instead of using nested functions. This is probably more portable
and has less problems (e.g. does not need for PaX MPROTECT).
