Rong-En Fan 9867961518 - Update to 1.2.2
- Unbrake on all platforms
- Use tk8.4 instead of tk8.3
- Fix bug with abort2 function
- Fix installed files's permissions
- Use PORTDOCS macro

Some notes from maintainer:
1) Due to some GC/Sather bugs we need specific options to compile GC.
   To achive this i compile GC separately and link it statically. I've
   not include it in dependencies to not bother user with GC's OPTIONS.
2) Port can be build currently only against non-threaded Tk/Tcl library.
   Don't know currently how to investigate this since there are no way to
   find if Tk build with or without threads. Furthermore, tk and tk-threads
   are mutually exclusive. Linking agains static Tk is bogus...

Sather is an object oriented language which aims to be simple,
efficient, safe, and non-proprietary. It aims to meet the needs of
modern research groups and to foster the development of a large,
freely available, high-quality library of efficient well-written
classes for a wide variety of computational tasks. It was originally
based on Eiffel but now incorporates ideas and approaches from several
languages. One way of placing it in the "space of languages" is to say
that it attempts to be as efficient as C, C++, or Fortran, as elegant
and safe as Eiffel or CLU, and to support higher-order functions as
well as Common Lisp, Scheme, or Smalltalk.
Sather has garbage collection, statically-checked strong typing,
multiple inheritance, separate implementation and type inheritance,
parameterized classes, dynamic dispatch, iteration abstraction,
higher-order routines and iters, exception handling, assertions,
preconditions, postconditions, and class invariants. Sather code can
be compiled into C code and can efficiently link with C object files.
Note: this version will work with non-threaded Tk only due to problems
with GC and threads!
