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)

- Remove USE_GETOPT_LONG which is a no-op since March 2007

Update MASTER_SITE and description to point to the new home page.

- Add SHA256

At Kris's request, back out the MACHINE_ARCH spelling correction until
after 5.4-RELEASE.

Assist getting more ports working on AMD64 by obeying the
Ports Collection documentation and use 'ARCH' rather than 'MACHINE_ARCH'.

Update to version 1.1.

Add SIZE.

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.

get rid of libgnugetopt dependency for -CURRENT,
use USE_GETOPT_LONG instead.
