Safecopy is a data recovery tool which tries to extract as much data as
possible from a problematic (i.e. damaged sectors) source - like floppy drives,
hard disk partitions, CDs, tape devices etc, ... , where other tools like dd
would fail due to I/O errors.
Safecopy includes a low level IO layer to read CDROM disks in raw mode, and
issue device resets and other helpful low level operations on a number of other
device classes.
The project also includes a device simulator which can be used to simulate bad
media for testing and benchmarking safecopy as well as other data rescue tools.

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.
