PTypes is a C++ Portable Types Library. It offers the following features:
* Threads and synchronization objects along with message queues solve
the vital problem of diversity of the threading API's on different
platforms.
* IP socket classes and utilities provide complete IP-based framework
for both client-side and server-side programming. They can be
combined with PTypes multithreading.
* Dynamic strings, variants, character sets, date/time type and various
kinds of dynamic and associative arrays: Delphi programmers will find
them very similar to the ones in their favorite language.
* Streaming interfaces provide buffered I/O with simple and powerful text
parsing methods. A strictly defined syntax for the given text format
or a formal language can be represented by calls to PTypes token
extraction methods. The unified streaming interface is applicable to
files, named pipes and network sockets.
* Special thread class with enhanced functionality called unit. Units have
their own main() and input/output 'plugs'; they can be connected to each
other within one application to form pipes, like processes in the Unix shell.
* Finally, everything above is portable: all platform-dependent details
are hidden inside.
===> The following configuration options are available for ptypes-2.1.1:
DEBUG=off: Build with debugging support
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EXAMPLES=on: Build and/or install examples
OPTIMIZED_CFLAGS=off: Use extra compiler optimizations
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
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.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
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.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Do not claim that builds are broken on PowerPC when they're in fact not.
While here, remove "support" for ia64, which had never been first-class
architecture and was officially killed in -CURRENT quite some time ago.

Remove the StUdLyCaPs from maintainer name, 'cause some folks won't realize
mail's case insensitive and will try to type that. Sorry folks, purely a
cosmetic change here, nothing to see, move along, move along....
