GNU Emacs is a self-documenting, customizable, extensible real-time
display editor.
Users new to Emacs will be able to use basic features fairly rapidly
by studying the tutorial and using the self-documentation features.
Emacs also has an extensive interactive manual browser. It is easily
extensible since its editing commands are written in Lisp.
GNU Emacs's many special packages handle mail reading (RMail) and
sending (Mail), outline editing (Outline), compiling (Compile),
running subshells within Emacs windows (Shell), running a Lisp
read-eval-print loop (Lisp-Interaction-Mode), automated psychotherapy
(Doctor :-) and many more.

Emacs ports: Align Makefiles
Lightly reorganize the options sections of editors/emacs and
editors/emacs-devel, so the two can be more easily compared. This is a
no-op change.

Emacs Lisp ports framework: Overhaul
This overhaul introduces four key changes to the elisp ports framework:
1. Remove support for packaged byte-compiled elisp.
The primary motivation is to remove a large number of flavor-specific
packages and to simplify the ports tree. As an example, supporting
byte-compiled elisp for devel/tablist required six packages, one for
each flavor of editors/emacs and editors/emacs-devel. With over 100
elisp ports and requests for new Emacs flavors, this was
unmanageable.
2. Install configuration to integrate with Emacs's native compilation
machinery, allowing elisp from ports to be compiled into the standard

www/webkit2-gtk: update to 2.46.5
Changelog:
https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/webkitgtk-2.46.5/Source/WebKit/gtk/NEWS
Now consolidated into one port with flavours since the codebase is
the same, just linked with different libraries resulting in different
SONAMEs and APIs. SONAMEs/flavours:
* GTK3 + libsoup = libwebkit2gtk-4.0 (40)
* GTK3 + libsoup3 = libwebkit2gtk-4.1 (41)
* GTK4 + libsoup3 = libwebkitgtk-6.0 (60)
Despite upstream's recommendation to use clang for better skia
optimisation, this port now USE_GCC due to extensive std::pair copy
constructor use that is not trivial to continue patching to stay
working with our libc++ version 1 ABI. See review D35327 for some
details.
