The syslinux program installs a Linux bootloader on a FAT-formatted
filesystem or disk image.
This FreeBSD port can additionally operate on plain files containing
a FAT image, thus requiring no special privilege. The program relies
on mtools to perform the manipulation of the FAT filesystem.
filesystems: add new category for file systems and related utilities
The filesystems category houses file systems and file system utilities.
It is added mainly to turn the sysutils/fusefs-* pseudo-category into
a proper one, but is also useful for the sundry of other file systems
related ports found in the tree.
Ports that seem like they belong there are moved to the new category.
Two ports, sysutils/fusefs-funionfs and sysutils/fusefs-fusepak are
not moved as they currently don't fetch and don't have TIMESTAMP set
in their distinfo, but that is required to be able to push a rename
of the port by the pre-receive hook.

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.
Approved by: portmgr (tcberner)
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.

sysutils/syslinux: remove artificial architecture limitation
Added with a dubious reason in r423370 (89d3f87471f0c).
This program can be used in stand-alone environments to populate bootable
media, e.g. as dependency of `sysutils/unetbootin' port, and GNU/Linux is
certainly available on far more architectures than could be listed here.
For ports that are explicitly enabled on armv6, also enable them
on armv7. This has not been tested with an -exp run but should
"do no harm".

Update to 3.83
This is basically PR ports/141166 by Boris Samorodov, which
updates the code to version 3.83 and splits the patches
into smaller chunks to ease future updates.
I have only touched the indentation in one function in patch-mtools_syslinux.c
