- Description:
- The "forks" pragma allows a developer to use threads without having to
have a threaded perl, or to even run 5.8.0 or higher. There were a number
of goals that I am trying to reach with this implementation.
The standard Perl 5.8.0 threads implementation is very memory consuming,
which makes it basically impossible to use in a production environment,
particularly with mod_perl and Apache. Because of the use of the standard
Unix fork() capabilities, most operating systems will be able to use the
Copy-On-Write (COW) memory sharing capabilities (whereas with the standard
Perl 5.8.0 threads implementation, this is thwarted by the Perl interpreter
cloning process that is used to create threads). The memory savings have
been confirmed.
You should be able to run threaded applications unchanged by simply making
sure that the "forks" and "forks::shared" modules are loaded,
e.g. by specifying them on the command line.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles
Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on
WWW: lines in pkg-descr files.
This commit removes the WWW: lines of moved-over URLs from these
pkg-descr files.

Add WWW entries to port Makefiles
It has been common practice to have one or more URLs at the end of the
ports' pkg-descr files, one per line and prefixed with "WWW:". These
URLs should point at a project website or other relevant resources.
Access to these URLs required processing of the pkg-descr files, and
they have often become stale over time. If more than one such URL was
present in a pkg-descr file, only the first one was tarnsfered into
the port INDEX, but for many ports only the last line did contain the
port specific URL to further information.
There have been several proposals to make a project URL available as
a macro in the ports' Makefiles, over time.

MASTER_SITES cleanup.
- Replace ${MASTER_SITE_FOO} with FOO.
- Merge MASTER_SITE_SUBDIR into MASTER_SITES when possible. (This means 99.9%
of the time.)
- Remove occurrences of MASTER_SITE_LOCAL when no subdirectory was present and
no hint of what it should be was present.
- Fix some logic.
- And generally, make things more simple and easy to understand.
While there, add magic values to the FESTIVAL, GENTOO, GIMP, GNUPG, QT and
SAMBA macros.
Also, replace some EXTRACT_SUFX occurences with USES=tar:*.
