GNU Libidn is an implementation of the Stringprep, Punycode,
and IDNA specifications defined by the IETF Internationalized
Domain Names (IDN) working group. It is used to prepare
internationalized strings (such as domain name labels,
usernames, and passwords) in order to increase the likelihood
that string input and string comparison work in ways that make
sense for typical users throughout the world. The library
contains a generic Stringprep implementation that does Unicode
3.2 NFKC normalization, mapping and prohibition of characters,
and bidirectional character handling. Profiles for iSCSI,
Kerberos 5, Nameprep, SASL, and XMPP are included. Punycode and
ASCII Compatible Encoding (ACE) via IDNA are supported.

Apply a big libtool patch to allow porters to use the libtool installed by
the libtoolX ports instead of the one included with each port. Ports that
set USE_LIBTOOL_VER=X will now use the ports version of libtool instead of
the included version. To restore previous behavior, use the new macro,
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER. Both macros accept the same argument: a libtool version.
For example, to use the ports version of libtool-1.5, add the following to
your Makefile:
USE_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
To use the included version of libtool with extra hacks provided by
libtool-1.5, add the following to your Makefile:
USE_INC_LIBTOOL_VER= 15
With this change, ports that had to add additional libtool hacks to prevent
.la files from being installed or to fix certain threading issues can now
delete those hacks (after appropriate testing, of course).

Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.
