NASL is a scripting language designed for the Nessus security scanner. Its
aim is to allow anyone to write a test for a given security hole in a few
minutes, to allow people to share their tests without having to worry
about their operating system, and to garantee everyone that a NASL script
can not do anything nasty except performing a given security test against
a given target. Thus, NASL allows you to easily forge IP packets, or to
send regular packets. It provides you some convenient functions that will
make the test of web and ftp server more easy to write. NASL
garantees you that a NASL script :
will not send any packet to a host other than the target host
will not execute any commands on your local system
NASL is not a powerful scripting language. Its purpose is to make scripts
that are security tests. So, do not expect to write a third generation web
server in this language, nor a file conversion utility. Use perl, python
or whatever scripting language to do this.

Mark Nessus ports deprecated. Nessus became proprietary closed-source
software many years ago and the ports are now outdated. A good alternative
is OpenVAS which started as a fork of the open-source Nessus.

- Display a stage-qa warning when ports use PREFIX/var instead of /var
- Add --localstatedir=/var to _LATE_CONFIGURE_ARGS (like --mandir) but not
when CONFIGURE_ARGS already sets it. (GNU configure scripts set it to
PREFIX/var when PREFIX != /usr.)
- Add --localstatedir="${PREFIX}/var" to CONFIGURE_ARGS in some ports so
they aren't affected by this change (for now at least). This commit is
meant to ensure that new ports don't make the same mistake.
- games/acm: the configure script in this port is very old; instead of
patching it more, just replace GNU_CONFIGURE with HAS_CONFIGURE.
- irc/charybdis: it already used /var but adding --localstatedir=/var
changed the behaviour of the configure script; adjust the port to this.

Convert USE_BISON to USES= bison
It brings bison as a build dependency in case it is set the following way:
USES= bison or USES= bison:build
it brings bison as a run dependency in case it is set the following way:
USES= bison:run
it brings bison both as a run and build dependency in case it the set the
following way:
USES= bison:both

Mass-conversion to the USE_AUTOTOOLS New World Order. The code present
in bsd.autotools.mk essentially makes this a no-op given that all the
old variables set a USE_AUTOTOOLS_COMPAT variable, which is parsed in
exactly the same way as USE_AUTOTOOLS itself.
Moreover, USE_AUTOTOOLS has already been extensively tested by the GNOME
team -- all GNOME 2.12.x ports use it.
Preliminary documentation can be found at:
http://people.FreeBSD.org/~ade/autotools.txt
which is in the process of being SGMLized before introduction into the
Porters Handbook.

Adopt the standard nessus directory structure, reducing the number of
files in ${PREFIX}/etc/nessus. Move existing files to the right places.
Bump PORTREVISION. (Also do a little bit of work on pkg-plist).
Whoa there, boy, that's a mighty big commit y'all have there...
Begin autotools sanitization sequence by requiring ports to explicitly
specify which version of {libtool,autoconf,automake} they need, erasing
the concept of a "system default".
For ports-in-waiting:
USE_LIBTOOL=YES -> USE_LIBTOOL_VER=13
USE_AUTOCONF=YES -> USE_AUTOCONF_VER=213
USE_AUTOMAKE=YES -> USE_AUTOMAKE_VER=14
Ports attempting to use the old style system after June 1st 2004 will be
sorely disappointed.

* upgrade repo-copied devel/libtool14 to 1.4.3
* break out libltdl into its own separate port
* move to version-numbered binaries/scripts (ie: there is *no* 'libtool'
any more -- USE_LIBTOOL and USE_LIBTOOL_VER are your friends)
