brlaser is a CUPS driver for Brother laser printers.
Although most Brother printers support a standard printer language such
as PCL or PostScript, not all do. If you have a monochrome Brother laser
printer (or multi-function device) and the other open source drivers
don't work, this one might help.
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.

print/brlaser: Update to 6.1, take maintainership
- Update the port moving it to a newer fork which includes fixes
and support for more printers
- Update WWW link
- Remove duplicate cups dependency
Fix build on GCC-based systems by adding compiler:c++11-lang to USES:
CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
Target "test_line" requires the language dialect "CXX11" (with compiler
extensions), but CMake does not know the compile flags to use to enable it.
