C++ developers miss an easy and portable way of handling Unicode encoded
strings. The original C++ Standard (known as C++98 or C++03) is Unicode
agnostic. C++11 provides some support for Unicode on core language and library
level: u8, u, and U character and string literals, char16_t and char32_t
character types, u16string and u32string library classes, and codecvt support
for conversions between Unicode encoding forms. In the meantime, developers use
third party libraries like ICU, OS specific capabilities, or simply roll out
their own solutions.
In order to easily handle UTF-8 encoded Unicode strings, I came up with a small,
C++98 compatible generic library. For anybody used to work with STL algorithms
and iterators, it should be easy and natural to use. The code is freely
available for any purpose - check out the license. The library has been used a
lot in the past ten years both in commercial and open-source projects and is
considered feature-complete now. If you run into bugs or performance issues,
please let me know and I'll do my best to address them.
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.

Add devel/utf8cpp.
utf8cpp is a C++ library for handling UTF-8 strings.
It is also a requirement for updating finance/ledger.
