in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port. Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version. To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.
For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
There is one copy on the author's ftp site.
There is a differnt copy on all the SunSite mirrors.
The difference is small. The SunSite copy contains a config.cache file.
The actual source code is identical.
So, allow this port to work with either tarballs.
We need both checksums in distinfo and we need to delete config.cache
(if it exists) prior to running configure.

Line up the rhs of variable assignments nicely. Remove a couple of extra
whitespaces while I'm here.

* declare USE_XLIB when XFree86 is installed and NO_X11 is not defined.
* fix configure.in more to use built-in ncurses if exist, and turn on USE_AUTOCONF.
* remove patches already obsoleted by USE_LIBTOOL.

- corrected MD5 checksum
- the removal of config.cache isn't necessary anomore, port build
failed here, since config.cache isn't in the sources anymore
- revamped the patches a bit, it's bad style to patch one file
(configure) using several patches, you loose the overview what
is patches in one file and it makes it difficult to maintain
patches in the future...
- hope MAINTAINER agrees, needed aalib for gimp port, but didn't work
