INTRODUCTION --- WHAT IS NOWEB, ANYWAY?
noweb is a literate-programming tool like FunnelWEB or nuweb, only
simpler. A noweb file contains program source code interleaved with
documentation. When noweb is invoked, it writes the program source
code to the output files mentioned in the noweb file, and it writes
a TeX file for typeset documentation.
noweb is designed to meet the needs of literate programmers while
remaining as simple as possible. Its primary advantages are
simplicity, extensibility, and language-independence. noweb works
``out of the box'' with any programming language, and supports TeX,
latex, and HTML (Mosaic) back ends. A back end to support full
hypertext or indexing takes about 250 lines; a simpler one can be
written in 40 lines of awk. The primary sacrifice relative to WEB
is that code is not prettyprinted.
If you're brand new to literate programming, check out the FAQ for
the USENET newsgroup comp.programming.literate. There are also some
resources available through the noweb home page:

Bump PORTREVISION for ports depending on the canonical version of GCC
as defined in Mk/bsd.default-versions.mk which has moved from GCC 8.3
to GCC 9.1 under most circumstances now after revision 507371.
This includes ports
- with USE_GCC=yes or USE_GCC=any,
- with USES=fortran,
- using Mk/bsd.octave.mk which in turn features USES=fortran, and
- with USES=compiler specifying openmp, nestedfct, c11, c++0x, c++11-lang,
c++11-lib, c++14-lang, c++17-lang, or gcc-c++11-lib
plus, everything INDEX-11 shows with a dependency on lang/gcc9 now.

- Fix fetch: the only ftp MASTER_SITE requires extended passive mode support
from fetcher, so use ftp(1) to fetch

devel/noweb: mark BROKEN (unfetchable) due to host FTP server settings
The file is accessible via http browser, but "make fetch" just times out
on both FreeBSD and DragonFly. The easiest fix would be to host the
file in LOCAL/ or elsewhere.
Given lack of maintainer and lack of development since 2007, let's see
if anyone cares enough to host the source file and fix the port.
Remove indefinite articles and trailing periods from COMMENT, plus
minor COMMENT typos and surrounding whitespace fixes. Categories D-F.
