Flasher monitors changes to one or more files, and indicates the
number of writes to these files by briefly flashing a console LED
once for each write. The flashing sequence is repeated, after a
brief pause, until the files have been read. As the files are
subsequently read, the number of LED flashes is reduced. When all
monitored files have been read, the console LED will be disabled.
The most obvious use is to monitor specific system log or mail files.
Multiple LEDs can be used. Each possible LED (-c, -n or -s) takes
a list of colon-separated file arguments. For example, when invoked
as:
# ./flasher -s /var/log/messages:/var/mail/root
the Scroll Lock LED will flash once for each write made to either
of these files, until the files are read. When /var/log/messages
has been read, the Scroll Lock LED will continue to flash once for
each write that has been made to /var/mail/root, until it also has
been read.
The list of files can include files that don't yet exist.
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.
