The core idea of libee is to provide a small but hopefully convenient
API layer above the CEE standard. However, CEE is not finished. At the
time of this writing, CEE is under heavy development and even some of
its core data structures (like the data dictionary and taxonomy) have
not been fully specified. So for the time being, libee should be
thought of as a useful library that helps you get your events
normalized. If you program cleanly to libee, chances are not bad that
only relatively little effort is required to move your app over to be
CEE compliant (once the standard is out).

Mark this port deprecated and set an expiry date in 2 months.
The only known consumer of this port was sysutils/rsyslog8, and that
has recently acknowledged that it hasn't been using it for some time
now. Upstream development has ceased.
Anyone with this package installed should just remove it after
updating to rsyslog-8.1907.0_1
devel/libee: Fix missing distfile, level up port compliance
Upstreams MASTER_SITES changed, and was no longer serving libee's distfile,
but a redirect instead:
=> Fetched file size mismatch (expected 357116, actual 19835)
Rainer (rsyslog maintainer) graciously made it available again on my
request via Twitter.
While I'm here:
* pet portlint: WARN: Makefile: "USES" has to appear earlier.
* Fix LICENSE (license text body reads LGPL21+)
* --prefix is already set by framework, remove from CONFIGURE_ARGS
