GNOME has just changed the layout of their FTP site. This resulted in
making all the distfiles unfetachable. Update all GNOME ports that fetch
from MASTER_SITE_GNOME to fetch from the correct location.
Convert all core GNOME1 components and some of the most popular GNOME1
apps to bsd.gnomeng.mk. The goal is to make GNOME1 framework more modular,
which will allow to use GNOME1 apps with GNOME2 desktop as well as considerably
reduce langht of dependency chains for GNOME1 ports (for example after this
commit AbiWord's dependency chain was reduced by 7 ports from 57 to only
50, while Gnumeric's - from 60 to 53 and so on).
The most of the GNOME1 apps are still not converted, so that lot of work is
still ahead.
Please report any unusual problems to gnome@FreeBSD.org.

Add DIST_SUBDIR=gnome to prevent namespace conflict with net/py-medusa, which
has the same distname and version number. Add USE_BZIP2=yes while I here.

SWitch maintainership of core GNOME ports to a small group of committers
(gnome@FreeBSD.org), since this is now definitely too big for just one person.
Medusa is software that allows you to quickly search your system for
particular types of files, using an index, aimed for the GNOME environment in
general, and Nautilus in particular.
