Description:
CUPS-PDF is designed to produce PDF files in a heterogeneous network by providing a PDF printer on the central fileserver. After restarting CUPS, you will be able to choose "CUPS-PDF (Virtual PDF Printer)" when setting up a new printer in CUPS. Once you print to the new device all converted PDF files will be placed in the specified directory.

Remove WWW entries moved into port Makefiles

Commit b7f05445c00f has added WWW entries to port Makefiles based on

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.

Changelog:

- Sort variables & improve style.
- Prefix some local variables with an underscore.
- Change the way PDF versions are handled (although the whole mechanism of
  changing a configuration file via custom port variables should probably
  be deprecated).

When there is a do-install target, do not use a post-install target, do
everything at once.  Sometime, rename post-install into a options helper
target.

I did not fix ports that were such a mess that I could not figure out
what they really wanted to do.  I also did not change ports that had
some version of an auto-plist code in post-install, for the same reason.

Make print/ghostscript9-agpl-base the default Ghostscript port.  Upstream
changed the license to the AGPL 3 in version 9.07 so print/ghostscript9-base
is stuck at 9.06 which is almost 4 years old now.

Fix the logic in Uses/ghostscript.mk so "agpl" is treated as a real version
on its own instead of as a variant of other versions.

Fix print/ghostscript9-agpl-base to install eps2write.

Update math/asymptote to 2.37 to support newer Ghostscript.

Long description:

First some background.  When you hand a file to cups it sets up a chain of
filter programs that converts the file to something a printer understands.
Each filter has a cost associated with it and cups tries to find the
cheapest chain.  Costs used to be configured in such a way that files were
first converted to PostScript.  This could then be manipulated further (e.g.
putting multiple pages on one sheet) before finally being sent to a
PostScript printer or another filter like pstoraster which produces a raster
format understood by non-PostScript printer drivers.  Nowadays most filters
