Alexey Dokuchaev afe5858c74 In sight of upcoming update, merge a few things to get cleaner diffs:
- Add a patch for CVE-2005-3124 (courtesy of Red Hat?)
- By default thttpd doesn't respect (or pass on) the X-Forwarded-For
  header; use a patch [1] that puts X-Forwarded-For into Remote-Addr,
  but not enable it just yet
- Amend COMMENT, improve pkg-message, sort the knobs in Makefile, and
  reformat port description text for better readability while here

thttpd is a simple, small, portable, fast, and secure HTTP server.
- Simple: It handles only the minimum necessary to implement HTTP/1.1.
- Small: It also has a very small run-time size, since it does not fork
and is very careful about memory allocation.
- Portable: It compiles cleanly on SunOS 4.1.x, Solaris 2.x, BSD/OS 2.x,
Linux 1.2.x, and OSF/1 (on a 64-bit Alpha).
- Fast: In typical use it's about as fast as the best full-featured
servers (Apache, NCSA, Netscape). Under extreme load it's much faster.
- Secure: It goes to great lengths to protect the web server machine
against attacks and breakins from other sites.
It also has one extremely useful feature (URL-traffic-based throttling) that
no other server currently has.
