PolyGlot is a "UCI adapter". It connects a UCI chess engine to an
xboard interface.
PolyGlot tries to solve known problems with other adapters. For
instance, it detects and reports draws by fifty-move rule, repetition,
etc...

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.
(Only the first 15 lines of the commit message are shown above )
Make defining both PORTVERSION and DISTVERSION a DEV_ERROR.
There are two cases:
- The upstream versionning is compatible with our versionning, or using
DISTVERSION's magic leads to a compatible PORTVERSION, use
DISTVERSION. If it is possible to use DISTVERSIONPREFIX and
DISTVERSIONSUFFIX to make it compatible, use them.
- The upstream versionning is not compatible with our versionning, and
DISTVERSION's magic does not lead to a correct PORTVERSION, then set
PORTVERSION to the equivalent of our versionning, and set DISTNAME.
It is possible to use a third variable where you store upstream's
version and use it to compute PORTVERSION and/or DISTNAME, like the
dns/bind9* ports do.
