Alexey Dokuchaev cefd353c93 - Try to unbreak; it looks like r322706 left out another race, which happens
with -jX build: `libyor.a' is not built atomically, so depend on the cookie
  file that is dropped after all parts of libyor.a are completed (search for
  ``oinsert'' targets inside ${WRKSRC}/yorick/Makefile to get the idea)
- While here, fix/sort pkg-plist, cleanup the Makefile and port description,
  use relative symbolic links

Yorick is an interpreted programming language for:
* Scientific simulations or calculations
* Postprocessing or steering large simulation codes
* Interactive scientific graphics
* Reading, writing, and translating large files of numbers
The language features a compact syntax for many common array operations,
so it processes large arrays of numbers very quickly and efficiently.
Superficially, yorick code resembles C code, but yorick variables are
never explicitly declared and have a dynamic scoping similar to many Lisp
dialects. The yorick language is designed to be typed interactively at a
keyboard, as well as stored in files for later use.
This package includes an emacs-based development environment, which one
can launch by typing M-x yorick in emacs, if installed `yorick.el' have
been loaded into one's ~/.emacs file.
