Thanks for serving Chinese people for such a long time, it's time
to retire.
Reason for aterm retiring: chinese/rxvt-* and chinese/crxvt
Reason for xcin and xa+cv retiring: Now most favored X applications,
like gtk12 based or QT based even
motif based, could just work happily
with xcin25, chinput and chinput2.
For people who wants to know what's aterm, xa+cv, and xcin, here's
brief introduction for remembrance:
Aterm and xcin use their own protocol to input Chinese (big5 actually)
words. Xa+cv is a hacky wrapper for X applications to hook "xcin protocol."
"Non-I18N-aware old-fashioned application no more supported"
They will retire before 4.3 ports freeze.

XFree86 (3 or 4) to depend to when USE_XLIB is set.
XFREE86_VERSION defaults to 3 for now, but adventurous users can
override it in /etc/make.conf. When XFREE86_VERSION=3, USE_XLIB
will add a dependency to x11/XFree86; when it is set to 4, the
dependency will be to x11/XFree86-4-libraries. When
XFREE86_VERSION=4, the PKG_IGNORE_DEPENDS and ALWAYS_BUILD_DEPENDS
hacks to avoid messing with XFree86 are turned off.
Since XFree86 version 4 includes some software that used to be
separate ports, when XFREE86_VERSION=3 the following variables are
provided:
USE_DGS LIB_DEPENDS on x11/dgs
USE_FREETYPE LIB_DEPENDS on print/freetype
USE_MESA LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/Mesa3
USE_XPM LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/xpm
When XFREE86_VERSION=4, these variables have no effect. The
LIB_DEPENDS in the tree for the above four ports have all been
converted to the USE_* counterparts. For your information, this
is the count of the number of ports:
USE_DGS 0
USE_FREETYPE 16
USE_MESA 36
USE_XPM 236
There is a new variable, XAWVER, which is set to 6 when
XFREE86_VERSION=3 and 7 when XFREE86_VERSION=4. This is also
passed to PLIST_SUB so ports that build Xaw based shared libraries
can use this variable to substitute the shlib version number.
There is also a provision of using a separate mtree file for
XFREE86_VERSION=4, but that part is not enabled yet.

Anomalies found:
- autoconvert was missing "zh-" in front of PKGNAME
- xcin (both 2.3 and 2.5) had invalid version strings
- neither of xcin ports had NO_LATEST_LINK
- telnet8-1.0 thinks PKGNAME is zh-telnet-1.0
Fixed all except the last (I wasn't sure if it was intentional).
