jlam 33f30156fb * Add new emulator framework in pkgsrc/mk/emulator that handles all
binary-only packages that require binary "emulation" on the native
  operating system.  Please see pkgsrc/mk/emulator/README for more
  details.

* Teach the plist framework to automatically use any existing
  PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM} as part of the default PLIST_SRC definition.

* Convert all of the binary-only packages in pkgsrc to use the
  emulator framework.  Most of them have been tested to install and
  deinstall correctly.  This involves the following cleanup actions:

    * Remove use of custom PLIST code and use PLIST.${EMUL_PLATFORM}
      more consistently.

    * Simplify packages by using default INSTALL and DEINSTALL scripts
      instead of custom INSTALL/DEINSTALL code.

    * Remove "SUSE_COMPAT32" and "PKG_OPTIONS.suse" from pkgsrc.
      Packages only need to state exactly which emulations they support,
      and the framework handles any i386-on-x86_64 or sparc-on-sparc64
      uses.

    * Remove "USE_NATIVE_LINUX" from pkgsrc.  The framework will
      automatically detect when the package is installing on Linux.

  Specific changes to packages include:

    * Bump the PKGREVISIONs for all of the suse100* and suse91* packages
      due to changes in the +INSTALL/+DEINSTALL scripts used in all
      of the packages.

    * Remove pkgsrc/emulators/suse_linux, which is unused by any
      packages.

    * cad/lc -- remove custom code to create the distinfo file for
	all supported platforms; just use "emul-fetch" and "emul-distinfo"
	instead.

    * lang/Cg-compiler -- install the shared libraries under ${EMULDIR}
	instead of ${PREFIX}/lib so that compiled programs will find
	the shared libraries.

    * mail/thunderbird-bin-nightly -- update to latest binary
	distributions for supported platforms.

    * multimedia/ns-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
	older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.

    * security/uvscan -- set LD_LIBRARY_PATH explicitly so that
	it's not necessary to install library symlinks into
	${EMULDIR}/usr/local/lib.

    * www/firefox-bin-flash -- update Linux version to 9.0.48 as the
	older version is no longer available for interactive fetch.

The SUSE 10.0 meta-package provides a number of components for a
SUSE-based Linux binary emulation environment.
This package does not contain anything by itself -- it is a "meta-package"
that depends on other packages. Its sole purpose is to require
dependencies so users can install this package only and have all the
other packages pulled in automatically by the pkgsrc dependency
mechanism.
