Google's excellent Visualization suite requires you to format your Javascript
data very carefully. It's entirely possible to do this by hand, especially with
the help of the most excellent JSON::XS but it's a bit fiddly, largely because
Perl doesn't natively support data types and Google's API accepts a super-set of
JSON - see "JSON vs Javascript" below.
This module is attempts to hide the gory details of preparing your data before
sending it to a JSON serializer - more specifically, hiding some of the hoops
that have to be jump through for making sure your data serializes to the right
data types.
Every effort has been made to keep naming conventions as close as possible to
those in the API itself.
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.

Fix every instance of RUN_DEPENDS:=${BUILD_DEPENDS} in p5 ports, except
for where it resulted in a change in output from build-depends-list or
run-depends-list.
