Edwin Groothuis 4e74668975 possible fix to unbreak biology/L-Breeder
L-Breeder is currently marked unfetchable:
	http://people.freebsd.org/~fenner/portsurvey/biology.html#L-Breeder

	So I tried to investigate the problem and I'm now submitting
	my homework so it doesn't get lost.

	This is what I noticed:

	i) L-Breeder upstream sources have "stagnated for some time,
	but now a new simplified version is available" (sic, from
	the web site)

	So, the fetch issue is resolved. And the pkg-descr is also
	updated to reflect the new home page. However:

	ii) L-Breeder is now called LBreeder. I have changed PORTNAME
	to reflect this, although I don't know if this is the right
	thing to do. Should the port be moved to biology/LBreeder?
	Or perhaps just leaving PORTNAME pointing to the old name
	and then work inside the Makefile to point the build/install
	to the correct name?

	iii) the sources have been reorganized so I have to update
	the port's Makefile to reflect this. The attached patch
	works for me under FreeBSD-4.11 (although it's possible
	that I may have missed a dependency if I already have a
	required library installed in my box. Sorry, I don't have
	a tinderbox-like setup to test builds)

	iv) the program does not have a version number, nor did I
	find one by looking inside the sources. To avoid changing
	too much the port I just left PORTVERSION at 1.0 and bumped
	PORTREVISION to 6

	Finally, do note that I am not a user of LBreeder, so I
	cannot test the program myself. I just noticed that by
	calling the executable I get a black X screen, that I can
	quit by pressing 'q' as documented in Readme.txt, but I
	can't tell myself if this is the expected behaviour. Nor
	do I know how to use the example files. Caveat emptor.
