- Description:
- Autoconf is an extensible package of m4 macros that produce shell
scripts to automatically configure software source code packages.
These scripts can adapt the packages to many kinds of UNIX-like
systems without manual user intervention. Autoconf creates a
configuration script for a package from a template file that lists the
operating system features that the package can use, in the form of m4
macro calls.

Set some DEPRECATED and EXPIRATION_DATE knobs to indicate overall intention
of the autotools project to remove all but the latest versions of
libtool, autoconf, and automake, by 31st December 2004.
Note that autoconf259 and automake18 aren't yet accessible through the
relevant USE_* knobs, but will be as soon as bsd.autotools.mk comes into
existence. |

Correct ports that were abusing the FORBIDDEN variable and replace with
either IGNORE or BROKEN.
Since there seems to be some confusion, for the record:
BROKEN is reserved for ports that don't work. This will prevent
users from installing the port, but please note that
ports marked as BROKEN will still be built by bento
IGNORE is reserved for ports that should not be built for one
reason or another (including bento). Users and bento
will not build ports marked as IGNORE.
FORBIDDEN is reserved for security breakages only!!! Only mark a
port as FORBIDDEN if there is a security issue with the
port at the time.
