This program provides a convenient way to manage many remote serial
consoles for machines. A server (conserver(8)) runs on each server
machine and it connects to the specified serial port. It can log,
provide shared access to remote consoles, etc. If there are multiple
machines running conserver(8), a master conserver(8) can be run to
connect to all the slave servers, providing a single point of access
to the entire cluster.
This is very handy for remote unattended FreeBSD servers. It can send
serial break signals which is useful for breaking into DDB on hung machines.

In the rc.d scripts, change assignments to rcvar to use the
literal name_enable wherever possible, and ${name}_enable
when it's not, to prepare for the demise of set_rcvar().
In cases where I had to hand-edit unusual instances also
modify formatting slightly to be more uniform (and in
some cases, correct). This includes adding some $FreeBSD$
tags, and most importantly moving rcvar= to right after
name= so it's clear that one is derived from the other.
For ports that have an EXPIRATION_DATE which has already passed, but
that have other ports that depend on them, mark the ports that depend
on them DEPRECATED, and make all EXPIRATION_DATEs 2011-10-31.
Use USE_PERL5_BUILD where appropriate, instead of hardcoding
${PORTSDIR}/lang/perl5 as a dependency.

As threatened on freebsd-ports: all startup scripts know about the two options
`start' and `stop' now (unless I have forgotten any). This allows us to call
the scripts from /etc/rc.shutdown with the correct option.
