Sather is an object oriented language which aims to be simple,
efficient, safe, and non-proprietary. It aims to meet the needs of
modern research groups and to foster the development of a large,
freely available, high-quality library of efficient well-written
classes for a wide variety of computational tasks. It was originally
based on Eiffel but now incorporates ideas and approaches from several
languages. One way of placing it in the "space of languages" is to say
that it attempts to be as efficient as C, C++, or Fortran, as elegant
and safe as Eiffel or CLU, and to support higher-order functions as
well as Common Lisp, Scheme, or Smalltalk.
Sather has garbage collection, statically-checked strong typing,
multiple inheritance, separate implementation and type inheritance,
parameterized classes, dynamic dispatch, iteration abstraction,
higher-order routines and iters, exception handling, assertions,
preconditions, postconditions, and class invariants. Sather code can
be compiled into C code and can efficiently link with C object files.
Note: this version will work with non-threaded Tk only due to problems
with GC and threads!

===> The following configuration options are available for sather-1.2.2_2:
DOCS=on: Build and/or install documentation
EMACS=off: Install Emacs syntax files
===> Use 'make config' to modify these settings
Convert GMAKE to MAKE_CMD
Please note that lots of invocation of MAKE_CMD here are wrong as they do not
properly respect MAKE_ENV and friends

- Return my ports back to the pool. I was unable to make any fixes to
my ports in the past 3 weeks while ports were broken on any 10.x
machines, which means I'm unable to maintain them. So let people know
that there's no available support for them until things are back to
normal (which also means that anyone with spare time will be able
to fix them without getting approval).
-Repocopy devel/libtool15 -> libtool22 and libltdl15 -> libltdl22.
-Update libtool and libltdl to 2.2.6a.
-Remove devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15.
-Fix ports build with libtool22/libltdl22.
-Bump ports that depend on libltdl22 due to shared library version change.
-Explain what to do update in the UPDATING.
It has been tested with GNOME2, XFCE4, KDE3, KDE4 and other many wm/desktop
and applications in the runtime.

Pointyhat-exp: a few times by pav
Tested by: pgollucci, "Romain Tartière" <romain@blogreen.org>, and
a few MarcusCom CVS users. Also, I might have missed a few.

- Depend on libtool directly. This port builds a local copy of boehm-gc
which depend on it. Letting the boehm-gc to install it will effectively
touch the filesystem in pre-build stage.

- Update to 1.2.2
- Unbrake on all platforms
- Use tk8.4 instead of tk8.3
- Fix bug with abort2 function
- Fix installed files's permissions
- Use PORTDOCS macro
Some notes from maintainer:
1) Due to some GC/Sather bugs we need specific options to compile GC.
To achive this i compile GC separately and link it statically. I've
not include it in dependencies to not bother user with GC's OPTIONS.
2) Port can be build currently only against non-threaded Tk/Tcl library.
Don't know currently how to investigate this since there are no way to
find if Tk build with or without threads. Furthermore, tk and tk-threads
are mutually exclusive. Linking agains static Tk is bogus...
