vmdktool converts raw filesystems to VMDK files and vice versa.
VMDK files can be imported directly into most Virtual Machine servers
as guest filesystems. Automatic machine deployments into products
such as VMware's ESXi and VirtualBox requires the ability to construct
VMDK files as the initial filesystem images for the created guests.
vmdktool is free.

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.

sysutils/vmdktool: Set TEST_TARGET and WWW, and fix ALL_TARGET
- Set TEST_TARGET. We need a utility called prove that comes with Perl 5 so
set USES=perl5 as well.
- Set ALL_TARGET to vmdktool. The default one, all, attempts to build
vmdktool.8.gz using Groff. Since the final vmdktool.8.gz is never not
installed anyway (the install target always installs the original
vmdktool.8), it is better to just change the ALL_TARGET to vmdktool
directly. This way we do not add dependencies to the build phase.
- Set WWW to give users at least some information, even though the project
does not have its official homepage.
