Take maintainership. The first of two steps is to take all
Gecko Stuff from the Gnome team. I'd like to say thanks a lot for
all the work in the past years. |

Resurrect www/mozilla/Makefile.common rev. 1.30 and associated changes,
which got lost with the switch to bsd.gecko.mk:
Work around the miscompilation/mislinkage problem of the sCanonicalVTable
hacks in the XPCOM string code on sparc64 by omitting the code in question
and bump PORTREVISIONs accordingly.

Add a new framework for browser plugins, USE_WEBPLUGINS. It is for which foo
plugins support one of web browsers and can take care of plist (depend on how
you use it) at the same time. I have written a complete document and even show
how it works in the www/firefox/Makefile.webplugins so be sure to read in
there. If there is anything that isn't clear in the document, please feel free
to ask and I will try my best to improvement it.
FYI: GNOME 2.24 depends on this, so it's coming.
BTW: It's based on www/linux-mplayer-plugin/Makefile.npapi with heavy modified.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).

Set USE_PERL5/WANT_PERL as appropriate, for ports that either depend on
perl unconditonally, or conditionally. To be able to conditionalize the
inclusion of bsd.perl.mk, they now need to be defined before the inclusion
of bsd.port.pre.mk.
