Matthias Andree f7cd8bfb78 mail/fetchmail depends overhaul, new fetchmailconf port
* Bring back SNI (server name indication) support for TLS connections,
  lost in 6.3.26_10 (PORTREVISION=10) as a regression over _9.
  Pointy hat: mandree@
* Drop the X11 option, remove the Python dependency, and create a new
  mail/fetchmailconf slave port/package that installs the fetchmailconf
  configurator. Note that the _DEPENDS of the ports reflects a technical
  dependence (fetchmailconf needs fetchmail), and we cannot keep an
  X11 option that depends on fetchmailconf, since that would create
  a circular dependency, which we must avoid.
* Patch configure instead of configure.ac with Cy's Kerberos fix, drop
  autoreconf from USES, and add a new configure check directly to set
  HAVE_DECL_SSLV3_CLIENT_METHOD to cover the various TLS providers
  (currently five, base, openssl, openssl111, libressl, libressl-devel)
* Add -Wl,--as-needed to LDFLAGS so as not to pull in unneeded .so
  libraries, for instance, libcom_err when compiling under GSSAPI_NONE.
* Bump PORTREVISION.

Very fruitful and nice collaboration with and

Fetchmail is a full-featured IMAP/POP2/POP3/APOP/KPOP/ETRN/ODMR client with
easy configuration, daemon mode, forwarding via SMTP or local MDA, and
superior reply handling. It is used to handle intermittent email connections
by acting as a coupling that seamlessly batch forwards fetched mail from your
mail server to your local delivery system, allowing you to read it with your
favourite mail user agent. Fetchmail also includes useful spam filtering and
multi-user functions.
A typical use of fetchmail is to connect to your ISP's POP3 server,
downloading your mail into the INBOX on your local computer. You may then
read the mail, offline if you want, using pine, mutt, or any standard mail
user agent.
