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.

Update to 1.3, which fixes two security bugs. Detailed description
from the author follows.
Bug 1: Infinite loop in MS-ZIP decoder [1]
The MS-ZIP and Quantum decoders read bits in roughly the same way as the LZX
decoder, however they don't have "inject two fake bytes" code.
In the situation where read() provides zero bytes, e.g. at the end of file or
end of a CAB block, the LZX decoder handles this by injecting two fake bytes,
then returns an error on subsequent calls. MS-ZIP and Quantum instead return
zero bytes without error. However, all three decoders are written to presume
they will get at least one byte. So this could lead to an infinite loop in
MS-ZIP and Quantum. An infinite loop has definitely been seen in MS-ZIP -
there is a while loop in inflate() of an uncompressed block (block type 0)

Let be hohest: I really don't have a time now to properly maintain all
these great pieces of software, so that let others with more free time
to take over them.
