This module exports two functions, nsort and ncmp; they are used in implementing
my idea of a "natural sorting" algorithm. Under natural sorting, numeric
substrings are compared numerically, and other word-characters are compared
lexically.
This is the way I define natural sorting:
* Non-numeric word-character substrings are sorted lexically,
case-insensitively: "Foo" comes between "fish" and "fowl".
* Numeric substrings are sorted numerically: "100" comes after "20",
not before.
* \W substrings (neither words-characters nor digits) are ignored. Our use
* of \w, \d, \D, and \W is locale-sensitive: Sort::Naturally
uses a use locale statement.
* When comparing two strings, where a numeric substring in one place
is not up against a numeric substring in another, the non-numeric always comes
first. This is fudged by reading pretending that the lack of a number substring
has the value -1, like so:
* The start of a string is exceptional: leading non-\W (non-word,
non-digit) components are ignored, and numbers come before letters.
* I define "numeric substring" just as sequences matching m/\d+/ --
scientific notation, commas, decimals, etc., are not seen. If your data has
thousands separators in numbers ("20,000 Leagues Under The Sea" or "20.000
lieues sous les mers"), consider stripping them before feeding them to nsort or
ncmp.
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.

Change the way Perl modules are installed, update the default Perl to 5.18.
Before, we had:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18
site_perl/perl_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18/mach
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/5.18/man/man3
Now we have:
site_perl : lib/perl5/site_perl
site_arch : lib/perl5/site_perl/mach/5.18
perl_man3 : lib/perl5/site_perl/man/man3
Modules without any .so will be installed at the same place regardless of the

The vast majority of pkg-descr files had the following format when they
had both lines:
Author: ...
WWW: ....
So standardize on that, and move them to the end of the file when necessary.
Also fix some more whitespace, and remove more "signature tags" of varying
forms, like -- name, etc.
s/AUTHOR/Author/
A few other various formatting issues
Remove more tags from pkg-descr files fo the form:
- Name
em@i.l
or variations thereof. While I'm here also fix some whitespace and other
formatting errors, including moving WWW: to the last line in the file.
- Take advantage of CPAN macro from bsd.sites.mk, change
${MASTER_SITE_PERL_CPAN} to CPAN.
