According to the Porter's Handbook (5.12.2.3.) default options must be added to
OPTIONS_DEFINE. This policy has been implemented only recently that's why we
have many ports violating this policy.
This patch adds the default options specified in the Porter's Handbook to
OPTIONS_DEFINE where they are being used. Ports maintained by
gnome@FreeBSD.org, kde@FreeBSD.org and x11@FreeBSD.org have been excluded.

Schedule net/pchar for deletion.
I am the upstream author of this software. pchar was originally
developed in a time before store-and-forward switches were common on
LANs. Its algorithms assumed that there is only one packet queue per IP
hop. Almost every modern network violates this assumption; thus pchar
will return incorrect results in the vast majority of environments where
it could be used today. In addition, I have not supported this software
for over ten years. For these reasons I am scheduling this port for
removal.

The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues |

no PORTREVISION bump. |
