Specifically, newer autoconf (> 2.13) has different semantic of the
configure target. In short, one should use --build=CONFIGURE_TARGET
instead of CONFIGURE_TARGET directly. Otherwise, you will get a warning
and the old semantic may be removed in later autoconf releases.
To workaround this issue, many ports hack the CONFIGURE_TARGET variable
so that it contains the ``--build='' prefix.
To solve this issue, under the fact that some ports still have
configure script generated by the old autoconf, we use runtime detection
in the do-configure target so that the proper argument can be used.
Changes to Mk/*:
- Add runtime detection magic in bsd.port.mk
- Remove CONFIGURE_TARGET hack in various bsd.*.mk
- USE_GNOME=gnometarget is now an no-op
Changes to individual ports, other than removing the CONFIGURE_TARGET hack:
= pkg-plist changed (due to the ugly CONFIGURE_TARGET prefix in * executables)
- comms/gnuradio
- science/abinit
- science/elmer-fem
- science/elmer-matc
- science/elmer-meshgen2d
- science/elmerfront
- science/elmerpost
= use x86_64 as ARCH
- devel/g-wrap
= other changes
- print/magicfilter

MeTA1 consists of five main modules of which only one runs as root:
* mcp: the main control program is similar to inetd(8):
it starts all other MeTA1 modules and watches over their execution.
mcp runs as root in order to bind to port 25 and to change the uid
of the processes it starts.
* smtps: the SMTP server receives e-mails.
* smtpc: the SMTP client sends e-mails.
* smar: the address resolver provides lookups in various maps
including DNS for mail routing.
* qmgr: the queue manager controls the flow of e-mails through the
SMTP servers and clients.
